“And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?”
Jesus refuses to answer the theodicy question about the specific victims and redirects it to universal mortality: the Galileans' sudden death is not evidence of special guilt but of the universal urgency to repent before death arrives unexpectedly. The same logic will apply to the Tower of Siloam's victims — two examples together covering both political atrocity and structural accident to show that neither explains the past so much as urges the present.
