De Blasio Keeps Schedule After LIRR Train Derailment in Brooklyn
When the LIRR train derailed in Brooklyn, Mayor de Blasio was about a mile away at an event with the NYPD commissioner. But many wondered why he didn’t show up at the scene. As Melissa Russo reports, he was briefed that the injuries were minor and he reminded reporters that the LIRR is under the purview of the state, not the city — but the fact that Gov. Cuomo was there could be another reason why de Blasio avoided the scene.
