Subject: Permission to Use Images in San Juan Hills High School Disaster Picture Book
Dear Mr Reardon,
I am a part time student who is currently studying the Pipeline Engineering MSc at Newcastle University in the UK. I am trying to complete my dissertation and came across your blog during my research. I am especially interested in your picture book version of the San Juan Hills High School disaster.
My dissertation is related to the safety of UK gas pipelines and the tentative title (that may change) is "An Integrity Validation of Safety Design in Gas Pipelines by Investigating the Individual Risk Levels in PD BS 8010". A large part of the project involves carrying out generic quantiative risk assessments to calculate the individual risk for pipelines of varying diameter and pressure. To illustrate the consequences of a gas pipeline disaster, I would like to use your 2 images of the San Juan Hills High School disaster in my dissertation.
On condition that I fully reference each photograph, may I have your permission to paste these photographs into my report? I would also include "With kind permission of Jim Reardon, webpage, date etc...", (only, of course, if this is satisfactory with you).
I would be grateful if you would let me know whether or not it would be acceptable for me to include these photographs in my dissertation as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully
Christine
