Well, the tower *would* be pretty strong, given its tapered design (look up triangles and their strengths if you don't know what I mean); and having an open-air latticework of cables at the top means that you'd either need to be pretty adept at steering a jet to get down below the cables, or you'd end up getting tangled *in* the cables (or bouncing off) and not do much damage at all.

I can't imagine the cables catching a plane, or bouncing it off. I think their intent would simply be to dramatically slow a plane down if it did hit, and lower structural damage.
And bounce off? That's.. hilarious. Especially about no damage. I mean, assume for a minute that the plance could actually bounce off of the building, what do you think happens? It's not going to turn around and fly off in the direction it came. It's would be bounced off into a surrounding building.
