This is not a GFDL picture as the tag says, but it should be a fair use photo. It's unique and there is no other photo of the incident, and the US government's FAA uses it under fair use provisions in a training website. Tempshill 07:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

This specific version of the image was scanned from one of the weekly news magazine (Time or Newsweek, I forget which). It appeared along with a photo of the flames rising from behind the building shown here. The vaguely rectangular shaped darker area of the sky is actually the image of a camera in an advertisement on the flip side of the page, "bleeding" through the page to some extent. The news magazine contains a line that says, "Photographs by Michael Laughlin - (c) The Chicago Tribune / Sygma". Laughlin had sold this photo and the ball-of-fire photo to the Tribune, which ran the photos in the newspaper a day or two after the crash, on newsprint, of course. The better quality versions of the photos were reprinted in the news magazine with the camera ad on the flip side of the page. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 13:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
