New Orleans industries suffering from oil spill

(CNN) – While most of the coverage of the oil spill catastrophe has focused on Louisiana's marshes and the creatures that call it home, the threat facing the city of New Orleans seems to be flying under the radar.

Major industries in the Big Easy – tourism, seafood, oil – are all in turmoil. New Orleans elected a new mayor just four months ago. He's Mitch Landrieu and he joined us on Wednesday's American Morning in his first live national interview since the oil spill began.
