This is surely a (an?) historic moment, but I don't think we have the copyright on this image. This is more likely than not a still image from an amateur video and not from the White House. I only searched for a little bit but didn't find any clear authorship attributions. You can find unattributed copies by searching YouTube for George W. Bush Booker Elementary School 9/11. All in all, this listing doesn't give us a source and I've found no evidence that this video belongs to the POTUS Photography Office. Eric Draper's iconic photos are all from the classroom where Bush is briefed after leaving the room where he read to the children (pictured in this image). czar 05:03, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete: Spent a good deal of time trying to find out who the photo/videographer was for this as well (mostly out of genuine personal curiosity) and was unable to locate this information. Poked around on various .GOV sites as well -- both current versions and via Internet Archive's Wayback Machine -- and still didn't turn up anything. Even the BBC doesn't source it [1]. It doesn't have to belong to the Photog Offc., just an employee or someone working on behalf of either the U.S. or State of Florida Governments. The $64,000 Question is who actually filmed it? Until that can be answered definitively, we should remove the photo from our archive here on Commons as the provenance of this content is entirely unknown. --dsprc (talk) 08:28, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
