Real life holograms are a lot more limited, so I was interested to see this study carried by Dr David Watt on Holograms As Nonlethal Weapons for NTIC, the Nonlethal Technology Innovations Center in New Hampshire.
This is a serious look at the technical possibilities for holograms. It’s a far cry from blue sky fantasies like the Air Force 2025 Airborne Holographic Projector which ”displays a three-dimensional visual image in a desired location, removed from the display generator” or the even more wildly optimistic “Hologram, Death: Hologram used to scare a target individual to death.”
Real holograms will not fool people at short range and they do not move, nor can they be ‘projected’ into a remote location. But they might still have their uses.
The human eye is difficult to fool, notes Dr Watt, but infra-red sensors are much less sophisticated – there is no need for the same level of colour fidelity. ....... However, as Watt points out the technology does not yet exist to create infra-red holograms.

Whether or not you believe planes hit the towers or whether it was holographs or not, this piece of evidence can't be ignored, if it is true.
Anyway, if the engine found on the street does not come from THE plane that crashed in to the tower, then wouldn't Occam's Razor suggest THAT plane did not crash in to the tower?
Seriously, where in the hell can the two large engine cores disappear to, without a trace, except for a wrong engine found on the street?
By the way, could it have been possible that a missile was fitted with a holographic projector or other camo-scheme to make it take the shape of a plane while in flight? I have no knowledge about holograms at all, so I'm merely asking.
If the WRONG engine was found on the street, then what did cause the explosion in the tower?
Go ahead, flame me if you like - I live in another country, so it won't burn me too much. Besides, if I was made of steel, then would I be capable of surviving a jet-fuel burn or not?

The next simplest answer would be that a different plane crashed into the tower.

Answer - They don't, you're either lying or severely misinformed.
NIST dismisses the possibility that jet fuel played a sustained role in the fires. “While much of the public attention has been focused on the jet fuel, most of this was combusted in only a few minutes.” (NCSTAR 1-5 p50, para3)
Given that the vast majority of the volatile jet fuel was consumed inside five minutes of each crash, the fires subsequently dwindled, limited to the fuels of conventional office fires. The fires in both towers diminished steadily until the South Tower's collapse. Seconds before, the remaining pockets of fire were visible only to the firefighters and victims in the crash zone. A thin veil of black smoke enveloped the tower's top. In the wake of the South Tower's fall new areas of fire appeared in the North Tower.
This summary is supported by simple observations of the extent and brightness of the flames and the color and quantity of smoke, using the available photographic and video evidence.
Visible flames diminished greatly over time. Significant emergence of flames from the building is only seen in a region of the North Tower 10 stories above the impact zone.
South Tower: Virtually no flames were visible at the time of its collapse.
North Tower: Flames were visible in several areas at the time of its collapse. A region of flames on the 105th floor is seen after the South Tower collapse.
The smoke darkened over time. While the fires in both towers emitted light gray smoke during the first few minutes following the impacts, the color of the smoke became darker.
South Tower: Smoke from the fires was black by the time it collapsed. At that time it was only a small fraction of the volume of the smoke from the North Tower.
North Tower: Smoke from the fires had become much darker by the time the South Tower was struck, 17 minutes after the fires were ignited. The smoke was nearly black when the South Tower collapsed. Thereafter the smoke appears to have lightened and emerged from the building at an accelerated rate.
The early news reports noted how well the towers withstood the initial impact of the aircraft; however, when one recognizes that the buildings had more than 1,000 times the mass of the aircraft and had been designed to resist steady wind loads of 30 times the weight of the aircraft, this ability to withstand the initial impact is hardly surprising. Furthermore, since there was no significant wind on September 11, the outer perimeter columns were only stressed before the impact to around 1/3 of their 200 MPa design allowable.
Section 2.2.1.2 Fire Development
Although dramatic, these fireballs did not explode or generate a shock wave. If an explosion or detonation had occurred, the expansion of the burning gasses would have taken place in microseconds, not the 2 seconds observed. Therefore, although there were some overpressures, it is unlikely that the fireballs, being external to the buildings, would have resulted in significant structural damage. It is not known whether the windows that were broken shortly after impact were broken by these external overpressures, overpressures internal to the building, the heat of the fire, or flying debris.
A large quantity of the approximately 10,000 gallons of fuel in each plane was quickly consumed in massive fireballs that caused limited structural damage.

Lets look at the NIST mistakse so far.
1. NIST has been forced to change the final report about plane impacts.
2. NIST did not check for explosives or chemicles in the steel.
3. NIST did not recover any steel from building 7.
Now lets look at the reports that state the planes and fires did not cause the collapse.

They didn't check for thermite, but they did do a full mettalurgy and microanalysis. You can read about it here:
No unprocessed, intact floor trusses were recovered or analyzed.
No testing for explosives (or sulfidation or other residue of any kind) was performed

Maybe, but according to American Airlines website, they use General Electrics

Becasue i have read the whole letter something either you did not do or just refusing to post the truth.
Why didn't you read the last page that sites the change?
I will be waiting for your answer.
