The video starts off with some grass sinking down into the dirt , causing it to turn wet . It then cuts to a scorpion walking to where Linkin Park are performing . It explores the many ironies of humanity and its ill-effects on the earth and the environment ( see above ) . It juxtaposes various pieces of footage : a large , well-fed man eating fast food , a woman measuring her waist and a man who is so malnourished that his ribcage is visible through his skin ; African Americans being hosed down by the Ku Klux Klan ; nuclear explosions , the World Trade Center collapsing as a result of the September 11 attacks , children waving American flags ( one of the children being Brad Delson ) , a Middle Eastern child holding an AK-47 , clips of oil tankers torn in half and birds covered in an oil slick . The video ends with the same clip from the beginning , but played in reverse , where it has the grass re-growing
