Reason
Some monthes ago I tried to get this image through the FPC and it failed. Some of the contributers at the time suggested the the image may do better as an FPC candidate if it was the centerpiece of its own article rather than one image in the parent article. It was about that time that an article dealing exclusively with the incident was created, so I am rereunning this through here to see if having its own article will make the difference.
