Original – The explosion following the plane impact into the South Tower (WTC2) during the September 11 Attacks.

Reason: A high quality picture for 2001 (along with being one of the highest quality 9/11 pics on Wikipedia), which shows the explosion impact of the South Tower in great detail. I feel like this picture really shows a historical moment, in which many people realized that 9/11 was a terrorist attack and not just a result of an accidental plane crash. It shows everything from the blast to the smoke to the towers in good detail
Articles in which this image appears: September 11 attacks, 2001, Terrorism in the United States, New York City, Terrorism, NATO, etc.

Support. I see some dust and scratches, but for once I'd suggest against restoration (except maybe the scratches in the blue parts of the sky). The central event is an explosion with debris, and I worry an attempt to fix apparent scuffs might accidentally erase real information. Moonreach (talk) 17:46, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
