people abducted a teenage girl in the middle of the day in this parking lot and it was all caught on tape. at 11:22 this morning, it's already clear on the video that something is wrong. a woman follows a teenage girl wearing a handbag and dark pants in the target parking lot. a dark van drives behind. a minute later the women revurs course, the van backs up. another minute later, the women caught through a row of park cars. the girl takes off running but doesn't get very far. the van's male driver jumps out dragging her. it takes more than 30 seconds for them to violently shove her inside head first. >> it was pretty graphic and it was -- they were using a considerable amount of force to get her into the van. >> reporter: despite the girl's kicking and screaming and traffic going past, police say only a few witnesses came forward. one was able to give them a vehicle description and the license plate number. the van, a dark green dodge caravan has rhode island plates. sheriff's deputies say it's been traced to an address in providence, rhode island. >> local law enforcement went by. the vehicle is not there. there's no vision the vehicle -- no indication the vehicle is stolen. >> reporter: shoppers hoor are shake -- here are shaken. >> i just can't believe the person that saw the whole thing just stood there because that would not be me. i would be calling the police immediately. >> scary seeing that. it could happen in plain daylight like this, you know, it can happen to anybody. >> reporter: authorities are looking for the green dodge caravan with rhode island plates. it has two small flags near the rear view mile an hour mirrors. they also issued an am berm a-- amber alert for the victim. i'm jess come stone, -- jessica stone, fox 5 news. >> investigators aren't sure if the teen knew her kidnappers. be on the lookout for that dark green dodge caravan with rhode island plates. bp's top kill is a failure. the company says its latest effort to stop the gushing oil in the gulf did not work. bp is now abandoning the top kill attempt to clog the well with mud and debris. the next plan of action is to cut off the riser where the oil is leaking and cap it off with a valve that's already sitting on the floor of the gulf. >> in this operation it should be able to capture most of the oil. i want to stress the word "most" because it's not a tight mechanical seal but it should be able to capture most of the oil. >> the attempt too take four or five days. late this week the latest geological survey determined the oil was gushing out at more than twice the rate of previous estimates. that means between 18 million and 40 million gallons have spilled into the gulf waters by far the worst oil spill in american history. with all the oil in the gulf animals as you can imagine are in serious trouble. rescuers are working desperately to save as money as they can. as fox reports, it's a battle that might be going on for years. >> i got a report of a dead bird. >> reporter: more than 400 birds are dead so far and the oil is still spewing from the gulf. once the oil soaks their wings, the birlds become ex-- birds become exhausted. >> they'll be impaired enough where they can't fly. they get weak enough and they can't feed. >> reporter: michael carr lows is a biologist for the state department of wildlife and fisheries. he's been rescuing birds near grand isle since the oil reached the gulf coast marshes more than a week ago. for thousands of these birds, the only line of defense is one, maybe booms. we're at the bird sanctuary. there's been two booms placed. a hard and soft absorb bent one but it hasn't been terribly effective. residents say there hasn't been any crews to help clean up on this particular island. >> starting to get pretty saturated. >> if you don't have enough boom, you can actually trap the oil inside, you know. we've seen some of that in some areas. >> reporter: not only that but rescuers who go into a bird colony like this one full of brown pelicans risk disturbing birds that are nesting causing more harm than good. >> that's their instinct. you're going to stress them out. they're already been through enough stress probably with all of this oil spill, with the booming and they're not used to all this activity. >> reporter: the average bird takes 45 minutes to clean and rescuers use hundreds of gallons of water. at the bird research and rescue center, workers spend hours cleaning and caring for birds with hopes of releasing them back into the wild. >> these are birds that are coming in cold because they're wet but they're recovering really fast and they eat good and are in relatively good health. >> reporter: the head of the fish and wildlife service predicts the oil spill is so significant, it will impact marine life in the gulf for years if not decades to come. in grand isle, louisiana, elizabeth pranh, fox news. meanwhile bp is accused of bringing cleanup workers to a louisiana beach just because president obama was coming to visit. a local leader there is claiming there was a sudden influx of workers right before the president arrived in grand isle yesterday. he called that move shameful. >> they were given clothing. they were handed rakes and shovels and basically dropped off and scattered throughout the beach. and our understanding is while the president's meeting was going obp had already gone back, picked all of these people up and they were already leaving. >> so he's alleging it was a big photo op. bp said it did in fact add hundreds of workers to the area but not because of the president. they say the workers left because their shift was over and not because mr. obama left the beach sphwhrz police are trying to track down whoever attacked a
