Sky News has filmed pictures from the rear of the Nairobi shopping mall showing the devastating aftermath of last Saturday's Kenyan terror attack.
Hundreds of tons of masonry, debris and metal fell down several floors after part of the roof collapsed where the car park was.
The scene has been described as a 'mini Ground Zero' by one forensic expert who spoke to Sky News.
Burned out cars were filmed hanging precariously over the edge of the pit and the tin roof of the supermarket atrium was severely damaged.
Below the hole in the roof was where a cookery competition was taking place involving adults and children when the gunmen began shooting at them.
Some people said the roof collapse was caused by the terrorists starting a fire, others said it was the military who set off explosives or fired rocket propelled grenades that set off the blaze.
The pictures were filmed from a private property of resident Sukhbir Singh.
He told Sky News he heard "really loud blasts" and "several gunshots".
He said at the part of the roof which has now fallen down he saw two or three gunmen opening fire towards children, adding "it was really really bad".
Shoppers were told to leave the mall with their hands up He went on: "They just came in and sprayed bullets without talking."
Meanwhile, new footage from the Kenyan Red Cross shows the organisation's staff helping shoppers as they emerged from Westgate Mall during last week's terror attack.
The video was filmed on September 21 - the first day of the siege and just hours after gunmen attacked the mall with assault rifles and grenades.
The organisation's secretary general, Abbas Gullet, is a prominent figure in the footage, not just overseeing the medical care of the injured, but also providing direct medical assistance himself at times.
Mr Gullet's team of medics regularly risked their own lives to bring people out of the shopping centre.
One man can be seen with is hand on a body covered with a red blanket weeping, while medical teams look on.
Video has shown people emerging from a walk-in fridge where they hid Stretchers were repeatedly run in and out of the mall despite the ongoing attack by gunmen.
The Red Cross also helped to transport those who lost their lives in the deadly assault.
The video follows extraordinary footage obtained by Sky News showing shoppers being rescued by Kenyan forces in the aftermath of attack.
Filmed by civilian security guards, it shows how some staff in the Nakumatt supermarket climbed into the meat fridge in the butcher section and hid inside for hours to evade the shooting.
Seven days after the attack which left at least 67 people dead, there is still no clear word on the fate of dozens who have been reported missing and no details on the gunmen who carried it out.
Tributes to Briton Mitul Shah have been made over his heroic act Al Shabaab said it carried out the massacre to punish Kenya for sending its troops into Somalia to fight the al Qaeda-linked militant group that had seized large parts of that country for years before being dislodged from the capital, Mogadishu.
The Kenyan Red Cross has said 59 people are unaccounted for, raising fears of bodies in the debris.
Meanwhile, a British man has been hailed a hero after he was killed in the Kenyan shopping mall massacre while trying to save children taking part in a TV cooking competition.
Mitul Shah, 38, offered himself as a hostage to help 33 youngsters escape from the rooftop of the Westgate Shopping Centre in Nairobi, where the programme was being filmed.
His bravery is thought to have given the young victims precious seconds to flee and hide, although he was unable to convince the gunmen to agree to his offer and he and a number of children were shot dead.
