this thread immediately caught my attention for the simple fact that the Tower card has always appealed to me... I often think of it as my card and I've never known why.... what does this card mean to everyone?

I'm not sure 9/11 is actually appropriate, I mean it narrows down a lot of the meaning to a specific event & that can interfere with other things the card may try to tell you.
The original Marseille tower wasn't about crumbling foundations & the whole tower coming down, devestation & destruction. It was about the top being lifted off and a sort of 'AHA!' meaning hitting strong and clear in a bolt of lightning. I think the Rider Waite/Thoth decks moved the meaning into the 'crumbling foundation' type of thinking, but even so, comparing it to 9/11 still restricts the interpretation to something that covers shock, sadness, horror & everything else we associate with that event.
In the past I'd usually considered this card as something you need to modify your life around, whether it's as simple as finding new ways to drive to work, or loosing a close friend. After learning the original meaning that was applied to the Marseille decks, that actually opens up a whole wider range of possibilities (and I think someone had a posting on that last month?).
That's in my opinion, of course, anyone else is free to see this card as they want to.

Didn't someone make their own tarot deck and use the twin towers as the tower?
