Blaz & Andy don’t bother to show up

At the gym and in Albany

IT SEEMED everybody in New York City was talking about a subway derailment that left dozens injured, hundreds walking along perilous subway tracks and thousands with delayed commutes Tuesday — everybody except for Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio.

Neither the governor, who controls the MTA, nor the mayor, who runs the city where the derailment crippled commutes, showed up at the Harlem site.

The governor’s schedule said he would be in the city — he attended a fund-raiser at The Plaza hotel Monday night — but his office said he’d changed plans and gone to Albany.

The mayor hit the gym in Park Slope, Brooklyn, in the morning, then held meetings at Gracie Mansion before dodging reporters’ questions — at a graduation in the Bronx — about the derailment.

“Sometimes it’s helpful to have the mayor there, and sometimes it serves little purpose,” spokesman Austin Finan said. “What matters is that those who absolutely needed to be on site were there.”

That includes emergency responders and the fire commissioner, Finan said.

As mayor-elect, de Blasio ripped predecessor Michael Bloomberg in 2013 for not going to the site of a fatal Metro-North derailment in the Bronx. This year, after de Blasio didn’t visit the Brooklyn station where a Long Island Rail Road train derailed, he noted it wasn’t of the same “magnitude” as the Metro-North crash, because nobody died.

Cuomo’s office sent out a statement from him about 5:30 p.m., not long after the Daily News inquired about his silence.

“While the investigation is ongoing, this morning’s subway derailment is an unacceptable manifestation of the system’s current state,” Cuomo said. “New Yorkers deserve better.”

He thanked first responders and pinned his hopes on new Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman Joe Lhota. “As I have told Joe, any support the MTA needs to get through this crisis will be provided,” Cuomo said.

The mayor — who has recently issued statements about U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the health care bill in Washington, and doomed electoral reform legislation in Albany — did not issue one on the derailment.
