A 29-year-old New Jersey woman plunged about 30 feet to her death off an escalator inside the famed World Trade Center transit hub known as the Oculus on Saturday morning, police said. The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the incident and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Port Authority police spokesman Joseph Pentangelo said the woman was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The striking $3.9 billion transportation hub was designed by architect Santiago Calatrava and provides connections between New Jersey's PATH trains and New York City's subways.
