Death Toll From Pakistan Quake Over 500

The death toll from Tuesday's quake, in Pakistan, has climbed to five hundred and fifteen, with the number expected to continue rising.

Thousands of buildings were destroyed in the 7.7 quake, trapping unknown hundreds of people.

Crews are digging through debris in hopes of finding survivors and with the plan to recover victims.

Pakistan has sent over a thousand troops to aid in rescue efforts.

Rescue efforts have been hampered by rebel activity in the region, as rebels have taken shots at three helicopters working to bring aid.

The quake was not only destructive, it also created a new island off the coast.
