Mom demands Oculus-death vid

- Julia Marsh

The mother of the woman who fell to her death at the Oculus transit hub in the World Trade Center is considerin­g a wrongful-death lawsuit against the Port Authority, but first needs a video of the incident, which the agency refuses to release, according to court papers.

“I believe that there exists a good and meritoriou­s cause of action in negligence. However, it is necessary for our experts to review and evaluate the video recording prior to institutin­g suit,” Maria Santos’ attorney, John Tumelty, says in the new Manhattan Supreme Court filing.

Santos’ daughter Jennifer Santos, 29, fell 30 feet from an escalator in February after a night out with her twin sister.

The PA, which owns the WTC, declined to comment, but has cited the ongoing investigat­ion in explaining why it cannot release the video.
