Awesome, so could anyone buy a copy of the same images?  Which satellite
do you think happened to be taking images of the area with these ships near the time the cables were broken? Which company is selling that set of images?

Wouldn't it be reasonable that, when the break occurred, they used their optical time domain reflectometer to compute the approximate location of the break, and then just called around for whoever had the best images, or who could quickly task the satellite to get an image?
