• The image is irreplaceable; a free analogue is impossible to produce as the original will be covered by copyright for the foreseeable future.
• Owing to the limited web-resolution of the image, only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used.
• For the same reasons, the portion of the copyrighted work used is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright.
• This image is used on various websites, such as CNN's website, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work, nor does it imply endorsement of the article in question by the subject.
• The image is significant since it shows the attacks in progress, in a visual array. This allows for more precise and illuminating commentary, and provides visual identification of the attacks in a way which is otherwise impossible. No other image can capture the exist nature of the attacks better than this set of images, and as such makes them irreplaceable in any discussion of the attacks.
