Boston was scary that day. The hijackers had folown from there, there was police action at a hotel not far from my little girl's BU dorm, and a little later there was a series of anthrax scares in classroom buildings.
The uncanny thing about the card is the figures falling from the tower. though I know the standard interpretation is that they are saved, but at the cost of their status (headgear).
I know an (uncanonical) Orthodox Archbishop who uses dicactic icons based on the greater Trumps -- the Tower represents Pentecost. (Not the fellow on LJ, who is only a Bishop and fully canonical, though they say he does know an odd thing or two.)
