During filming of the video for “Down In It,” Chicago film crew H. Gun Video were faking a helicopter shot by using a camera tied to a weather balloon. The shot was a pull away of singer Trent Reznor lying in an alley looking like he was dead. The wind caught the weather balloon and took it to Iowa where a farmer took the camera to the police. The FBI thought it was a snuff flick and next thing you know, it’s all over Hard Copy (a fore-runner to Access Hollywood airing each day at 4:30 p.m.). Before this video, I think Nine Inch Nails sales were 8,000-9,000 units; after, they went through the roof.”
