 * Nature of the copied work This image is a picture of an extremely significant event that captured the public imagination and horror after the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York City. It is displayed on Wikipedia in the public interest.
 * Amount and substantiality one image displayed, which was displayed in numerous newspapers after September 11th, 2001.
 * Effect upon work's value Displaying this image on Wikipedia does not reduce the value of the image for the original copyright holder.
 * The image in question is itself an item of unique historical significance, and no opportunity now exists to create a free-licence variant of this image.
