Also, it's important to note that the act of measuring a quantum system doesn't change it's energy.
The Wikipedia artice says:
"When particles decay into other particles, these decays must obey the various conservation laws. As a result, pairs of particles can be generated that are required to be in certain quantum states."

If the entanglement breaks when one particle traverses an event horizon - wouldn't that mean one particle can be resolved while the other isn't?
