These dramatic pictures show the wreckage of the mall in which dozens died at the hands of the vicious Kenya terror gang.
The Westgate Shopping Centre can be seen from above a day into the siege, with smoke pouring out of a roof and cars strewn like toys in the rubble.
International forensic experts, including teams from the UK, the United States, Israel, Germany and Canada, are now helping sift through the debris in Nairobi for clues.
A diplomatic source said it could become “almost entirely impossible” to identify all of the victims as many had been “burned to ash” in wild blazes caused by explosives set off by the terrorists.
Bomb experts were deployed to the building yesterday, together with forensic experts.
After an area was declared free from bombs, experts swept room after room before doctors and other medical staff were called to remove bodies of people killed by the terrorists.
A witness at the scene counted 10 bodies being removed in body bags. Engineers will then advise on the structural soundness of the building after half of the overhead parking area collapsed into the floors below.
Forensic teams, including a team from the Metropolitan Police, are still unable to reach parts of the rubble of the shopping centre.
It could take up to a week to establish exactly who is still inside.

Officially, the death toll from the four-day stand-off is 67, with 61 civilians and 6 members of the Kenya security forces, though that may rise.
Al-Shabaab, the terrorists responsible for the bloodlust, has claimed on Twitter that 137 hostages have been killed.
Five terrorists also died while the Kenyans say they are holding 11 suspects in custody in relation to the attack - including at least seven who are thought to have been arrested at the airport.
The number of UK nationals killed in the Kenyan shopping centre attack is lower than previously thought, the Foreign Office has said.
It had been reported that six Britons killed but one of the dead thought to be British was a Kenyan national, the FCO said, warning that the toll could rise.
“We cannot rule out the potential for further British casualties,” a spokeswoman said.
The rampaging gunmen had specifically targeted non-Muslims, allowing those who could recite the Koran to leave alive. At least 17 foreigners were among the dead.
One soldier told how he was so traumatised by what he saw in the aftermath of the four day siege that he has been forced to seek counselling.
He said: “There were children in the fridges. There were bodies hanging from the ceiling. There were fingers cut off and body parts thrown out of the building. They were using the hostages as human shields.”
Horrific details of the torture suffered by hostages were yesterday revealed by soldiers who found them dismembered, with their eyes gouged out and suspended from hooks in the supermarket ceiling.
In further tales of horror, some men were castrated by crazed militants.
A doctor, who asked not to be named, told of “the stuff of nightmares” after he inspected bodies yet to be removed from the mall.
Shaking his head and gesturing to the sky, he said: “You find people with hooks hanging from the roof.
“They removed testicles, eyes, ears, nose. They drive knives inside a child’s body.
"Actually if you look at all the bodies, unless those ones that were escaping, fingers are cut by pliers, the noses are ripped by pliers. Here it was pain.”
The doctor said what he saw was worse that the deaths from the Sachangwan oil tanker explosion that claimed 139 lives in January 2009 and the Sinai fire tragedy that killed 101 people in September 2011.
“Sachangwan and Sinai is 50 percent of this. Sachangwan and Sinai you are sure of one thing...it is fire.
"And those people before they died they fell unconscious. Here it was pain. You find people with hooks hanging from the roof.”
