you from this morning, when the police eventually ended up bringing in mounted units on horses to chase them out of the park and chase them back out and they essentially dispersed them on the streets of the city. i could see people detained by police well after 11:00 after night in the streets as they tried to maintain order here. did this take the police by surprise, because you and i speaking yesterday, they were well-prepared in terms of numbers? reporter: yes. i really can t tell you what happened in terms of the police because it did look like they were taken by surprise, but then there are a lot of conspiracy theorists saying, well the police allowed them to do this what i describe minimal amount of damage, in an isolated area. the real goal of the protesters was to get down to the fence and get down to the fence, which is where the g-20 summit is happening on the other side of the fence.
as well the woman is hospitalized in critical condition. it is the third time in less than a year that a person has been hurt or killed by a falling tree branch there in central park. the search is on this morning for a missing man and his 1-year-old daughter who may be lost in a remote area of washington state. he apparently took his daughter for a car ride friday to try to calm her down, after she had been crying but they never returned, and the car was found yesterday abandoned. the search is now in high gear. at this point, we believe that they re still out there in the woods. it s fairly dense there. we don t have any reason to believe that they got out. we don t have any reason to believe there s any foul play. the u.s. coast guard is helping in the search with helicopters. a raging wildfire testing crews in colorado with a blaze already scorching 1500 acre. officials say it s the biggest fire to hit the rocky mountain national park in more than 30 years. it tripled in si
when? reporter: we don t know when, that s always hard to say, alex, because it s driven by the winds and the currents. and i guess the good news now is the conditions are favorable for keeping it offshore. the wind right now is coming from the north, blowing offshore, the seas are relatively calm, that s all pretty good news. the big sheen is about 11 miles offshore, stuff between that and where we re standing right now. but i can also tell you that just moments ago, we walked down to the beach area, directly behind me, along the pier area, seeing a there s a sheen of oil on the water and streaks of oil, almost looking like coffee grounds or brown powder are coming up on the beach, and that s oil. and there are also tar balls there. that s happening now. also happening in gulf shores, alabama and orange beach, alabama where they ve been cleaning up around the clock. it s heavier in that area than here, but this stuff bounces around. you can never predict where it s
going to hit and that drives city managers to distraction because they just can t seem to get ahead of it. one thing that is happening, that s different from yesterday, we saw heavy equipment here in the pensacola beach area, not only cleaning the surface but digging down under the sand to get that buried oil that we were talking about yesterday. it s almost like a coal seam under the sand that s brought up by the tides, and they were digging down with steam shovels and other equipment to try to get some of that up. that s a long process, as this stuff keeps coming ashore. what you hear from the local managers, the commissioners, the mayors in the area is that they feel they re never going to get ahead of this, this is always going to be a threat, until the oil is corralled offshore. and they re saying there s nothing they can do onshore to stop it and to keep ahead of it, so they re asking the federal government, and anybody who can help in this regard, to get as many skimmer ships of
well, of course, no one got anywhere near the fence yesterday. they were way sufficient numbers of police to keep the world leaders secure from what from this group of 500 anarchists or what have you at the demonstration. but they did seem to take the police by surprise by reversing and going back into an area that they had already left and going back into an area that the police had already left. very interesting. kevin tibbles, thank you with that. we ll speak again this morning. tragedy in new york central park after a tree branch came crashing down on a woman, killing her 6-month-old daughter. the mother suffered very serious injuries, just outside the central park zoo, as the family was posing for a picture, bystanders were stunned. the mother was trying to get away from the branch and i don t know if she tripped and fell or if an actual piece of a branch or, you know, hit her. when she fell the baby came out from her arm and hit the ground
