However, it is believed that the use of this work:

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.
Fair use

Rationale for fair use:

This is the only existing picture taken of a past event, thus no free image can be created.
The event is both rare and important -- a natural disaster hitting a major city.
Most of the picture has been cropped, only the necessary part relevant to the article is used.
The limited use does not detract from the photographer's ability to profit from his work.
If anything, use of this partial photograph would only increase the value of his work.
