Student Trapped For 80 Hours OK After Quake

BEICHUAN, China (AP) ― A Chinese state news agency says rescuers have pulled a student to safety after being trapped for 80 hours in the debris of a school following this week's massive earthquake.

Xinhua News Agency said Friday that rescuers could still hear weak yells for help from the collapsed building in Beichuan in the northern part of Sichuan and hope to rescue more students.

The confirmed death toll from Monday's earthquake has risen to 19,509, but the government says that is expected to more than double.
