Woman Falls To Her Death At WTC

LIVE IN EAST HARLEM, DAVE
CARLIN, CBS 2 NEWS.
NOW TO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WHERE
A WOMAN PLUNGED TO HER DEATH
OFF THE ESCALATOR.
CBS 2 JOINS US LIVE WITH MORE
ON THIS STORY.
REPORTER: IT HAPPENED AT
5:30 THIS MORNING HERE INSIDE
THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD TRADE
CENTER.
IT HAPPENED RIGHT ON THIS
ESCALATOR OVER HERE BETWEEN THE
SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS.
29-YEAR-OLD JENNIE SANTOS OF
CARNEY NEW JERSEY WAS WITH HER
TWIN SISTER WHEN SHE FELL SOME
30 FEET OVER THE SIDE OF THE
HANDRAIL TO THE MARBLE FLOOR
BELOW.
SOURCES TELLING US THE VICTIM
WAS TRYING TO SAVE HER TWIN
SISTER JESSICA'S HAT WHICH
SOMEHOW DROPPED OVER THE SIDE
WHEN SHE LOST HER BALANCE AND
FELL.
A FREAK ACCIDENT INSIDE THE
TRANSIT HUB CREATED AFTER 9/11
THAT JUST OPENED LAST SUMMER.
IT HAD TO BE HORRIBLE FOR
HER SISTER STANDING RIGHT
THERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST
DREADFUL, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST
UNBELIEVABLE THAT SOMETHING
LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN.
IN MY OPINION, I THINK THEY
NEED TO BUILD THE WALLS HIGHER
WHEN THEY CREATE THESE
ESCALATORS.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT SHAY
STADIUM WHEN THEY REDID SHAY
STADIUM, SOMEONE FELL OVER THE
ESCALATORS.
THE WALLS AREN'T HIGH ENOUGH TO
PREVENT TRAGIC ACCIDENTS THAT
HAPPEN LIKE TODAY.
REPORTER: JENNY WAS A
GRADUATE OF WILLIAM PATERSON
UNIVERSITY.
SHE WAS TAKEN TO BELLVIEW
HOSPITAL.
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE TO SAVE
HER.
THE FAMILY WAS TOO DISTRAUGHT
TO TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED HERE THIS MORNING BUT
ONE FRIEND TOLD ME JENNY WAS A
TREASURE WHO WILL BE MISSED BY
EVERYONE WHO KNEW HERMENT
