BEIJING - Chinese media say the earthquake death toll in one Sichuan county is estimated at 3,000 to 5,000 people. The powerful earthquake struck central China on Monday, trapping nearly 900 students after their school collapsed, state media reported. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit central China, but sent thousands of people rushing out of buildings and into the streets hundreds of miles away in Beijing and Shanghai. The temblor was felt as far away as Pakistan, Vietnam and Thailand.

TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. — An Ohio woman is recovering after a pelican slammed into her face while she was swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. Debbie Shoemaker of Toledo, Ohio, was swimming Thursday near Treasure Island, a beach community west of St. Petersburg, when she felt something hit her face. The bird's large beak ripped through her cheek, requiring 25 stitches.
