It's great they found her.
But, the whole story is terribly sad. Even if your house was built by an "honest man" as opposed to a "villain", I doubt they have much, if anything, in the way of earthquake resistant building codes there.

Prayers for the rescuers, and the victims of this devastating quake. How wonderful, and on the heels of the toddler also rescued after 2 days of being buried alive in rubble, waiting for help:


Emilie Kaidi, 2, is carried out after being rescued from the rubble of her home in Corso, east of Algiers, Friday May 23 2003, two days after a major earthquake struck the region, killing over 1, 600 and wounding more than 7,000. Emilie survived in her collapsed ground floor bedroom, protected by a door that fell on a television set, giving her shelter for almost two days. Her father was lightly injured in the quake, her mother escaped injury, but the fate of her 4 year old sister Lisa was unclear, rescue workers fearing she was crushed between two slabs of concrete, unresponsive. Emlie's constant cries for her mother led rescue workers to her. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)
