He brings together and controls all the vectors.

A *BOOM* thunderous roar echoed throughout.

In that instant, the Earth's rotation on September 30 slows down by about 5 minutes.

His arm, having took away the enormous energy of the planet's rotation, converts it via vector control into a single demonic attack.

The forcibly gouged-out concrete wall was blown away at a horrifying velocity. Accelerator is standing on an alley corner that surrounds a building, but the several buildings that serve as an obstructing space between him and the [target] were being destroyed as if they're waste paper.
If you'd like to, you can compare your calculations with this one from some Japanese magazine:

Yes, it would be catastrophic if it hit any other structure or feature capable of stopping it, but the fact is that it was targeted at Aleister Crowley's Windowless Building. The fact that it absorbed all that energy and didn't even get a single scratch should give you a hint on what that building really is. This is what the main point of that scene is -- not Accelerator's strength or power, but the nature of the Windowless Building and the one that resides in it.
