Yeah, you really can't compare 9/11 to this.
I was in New York on 9/11 and even though everyone was in shock, the damage was confined to a relatively small area in the city. In this case the damage is widespread throughout the Gulf region. There are plenty of other differences, but that is the big one.

While Mayor Nagin probably could have handled this situation better, there was no way he had the power to completely deal with it. That had to come from the state and federal level. What I see in the interview is a man who sees what is going on but is powerless to help. He's pleading for help and hopefully he will get it soon.
