Exactly, what's the point? Why go through all this effort to fake an airplane and then demolish the buildings? Why is it even an issue?

. I just don't buy into it. Too much room for failure, or something going wrong to reveal the entire plan.

The reason why the hologram theory has been picked up by many people is because many of the engineers that built the WTCs stand by their statements and designs that the building's outer shell of steel columns could repel, or in the very least, diminish the impact of an airplane nearly that size. Some will argue that they were design to withstand the impact of smaller jet. Yes, that is true, but the physics remain the same. The way the columns were designed to be so far apart, it should have broke the plane into multiple pieces upon impact and some of the airplane's componets, such as wings should not have "sliced through the building like butter". This was structural steel vs. aluminum alloys. Physcially speaking, the plane shouldn't have been able to do what it did to that building. This is why the hologram theory has come to the mainstream.

Just a few simple overlays and CGI into the main broadcast streams.

What if the bolts between the perimeter columns were compromised by incendiaries placed inside the bolt-access holes before impact?

A nine millimeter bullet — also traveling at 500 mph —will not penetrate quarter inch — let alone 3/8”— thick mild steel from any distance. Why then should an aluminum aircraft traveling at the exact same speed be able to puncture the WTC-tower columns and spandrel plates then? If aluminum had better penetrating powers than the alloys used in bullets, why aren’t bullets made of aluminum then?

I keep hearing that there was no evidence of a plane at the WTC wreckage. From everything I've seen there is also no evidence of any computers, telephones, office supplies, filing cabinets, desks or anything to indicate that it was in fact an office building. Are we to conclude, based on this, that it was not an office building either?
Sceenless holographic projection is being studied as an entertainment technology by a number of companies, and the idea of a mid-air holographic projection was cited in the USAF Air University's Air Force 2025 report, commissioned by then-Chief of Staff Gen. Ron Fogleman in 1995. The report suggested that a hologram could be projected far enough from its source to create a virtual decoy, a visable but non-existent target.

Thank you ULTIMA1, I was about to ask why on earth we have a thread about holographic technology, and spectacularly manage to not actually discuss that technology.
My opinion though? Probably not.
I beg to differ. What matters is the PSI (amount of pressure) at point of impact. We’re talking about penetrating forces, not plowing-over powers. A hypothetical aircraft the size of a “death star battleship” made of aluminum and cruising at 500 mph still wouldn’t have sliced through the twin towers, it would have PUSHED them over!

Can you imagine the size of the device in question? It's not going to be small and would probably have to be roof mounted, and undoubtedly would leave evidence atop the building on which it was deployed. Anyone found anything suspicious on top of a NY building?
When struck by the plane each building swayed
some 12 feet - the buildings vibrated for about 5 min after impact
like a pendulum as it swayed back and forth.
