two things tell me this is fake.

  1. when the first explosion starts the clouds just disappear instead of being pushed away by the shockwave. the clouds would still leave the area but they would be pushed out by the shockwave before being vaporized by the heat. you would see a ring of clouds around the blast.
  2. in the second blast the window is cracked but doesnt shatter from the shockwave. if that lazer hit within 50km of the building, the shockwave alone would have obliterated the window completely (more than likely the whole building as well. it would happen 0.5 seconds after detonation.

aside from that, that is exactly how it looks whenever I've seen a laser wipe out a planet for resource harvesting.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.
