content: Others here have said this is fake... I have not checked... however my first thought after seeing the video was Tesla's death ray fired from high up... basically you fire a high-energy laser at your target for a millionth of a second (which is basically harmless to the target) but during that pulse the beam of intense energy ionizes the atmosphere along the path of the beam creating an electrical conductor which is simultaniously coupled with the output of a high-voltage generator at the source of the beam (such as a Tesla coil).  In effect, you create a "death ray" by channeling artificial lightning to your target using a laser.    But appearantly this is a "fake" video.
