DI BAWAH ancaman kawanan bersenjata dari semua sudut, tentu membuat ciut nyali banyak orang untuk kabur menyelamatkan diri.
Tapi keluarga muda ini mampu melarikan diri di bawah intaian pembantaian di mal di Kenya dengan cara berpura-pura mati dalam perjuangan mereka untuk bertahan hidup.
Video baru yang dramatis mengungkap seorangibu berbaring dengan lengan merangkul anak bungsunya di bawah ancaman teror.
Putri sulungnya tergeletak diam di samping tas belanjaan.
Sebuah ketenangan di bawah situasi yang sangat mencekam yang memungkinkan mereka untuk menghindari deteksi dan memberikan polisi kesempatan untuk membantu mereka menyelamatkan diri.
Setelah lokasi mereka diketahui, petugas berpakaian preman bergerak tiarap di lantai untuk mendekati mereka.
Ia melangkah hati-hati di lantai mal mendekati ibu dan anak yang bersembunyi di balik dinding sebuah kafe, seperti dilansir Mail Online.
Tetapi jelas si ibu awalnya diam tak bergerak bergerak dan petugas penyelamat butuh waktu untuk membujuknya agar segera pergi dari situ.
Terdengar teriakan di belakang mereka, mungkin dari orang-orang bersenjata, dan tampaknya inilah yang meyakinkan sang ibu dan anaknya untuk kabur dari situ.
Akhirnya, polisi mengangkat anak sulungnya dan kemudian mengangkat sang balita untuk menghindari kemungkinan terburuk.
Ketika mereka yakin sudah aman, mereka berjongkok dan lari menuju pintu keluar mencari tempat yang aman.
Sebuah foto kemudian menunjukkan anak yang lebih tua dibawa oleh seorang tentara Kenya seraya tetap menggenggam tas belanja.
Setidaknya 61 warga sipil tewas sejak kawanan bersenjata Al Shabaab menyerbu pusat perbelanjaan Westgate, Sabtu.
Presiden Kenya malam lalu mengumumkan bahwa negaranya mengaku ´malu dan kalah´ oleh para penyerang, bahkan saat ia berbicara masih terdengar tembakan di dalam mal.
Tembakan juga terdengar pagi ini, tapi juru bicara pemerintah Manoah Esipisu mengatakan hal itu dari pasukan Kenya yang menyisir setiap lokasi di mal, sebagai tembakan perlindungan sebelum memasuki wilayah yang tidak dikenal.
Kelompok teror Somalia, Al Shabaab mengklaim bahwa mereka telah menyandera 137 orang di pusat perbelanjaan Westgate di Nairobi.
WITH gunmen running amok from all angles, their gut reaction must have been to flee for their lives.
But this young family were able to escape the Kenyan mall massacre by having the remarkable presence of mind to play dead in their fight to survive.
Dramatic new video has emerged that shows the mother lying completely still with her arm around her youngest child as terrorists storm the complex.
Her elder daughter lies motionless next to them alongside a bag of shopping.
It was this calmness in the most terrifying of situations that enabled them to evade detection and gave a police officer the chance to help them to safety.
Having been alerted to their location, the plain-clothed officer can be seen crawling on the floor towards them.
He carefully edges his way around a barrier which the family are cowering behind in what appears to be a cafe.
But it is clear the mother is initially too petrified to move and the rescuer spends quite some time trying to persuade her to come with him.
Shouts can be heard from behind them, possibly from the gunmen, and it appears this is what convinces her to move.
Eventually, the police officer picks up the elder girl and then scoops up the toddler as they brace themselves to make a run for it.
When they believe the coast is clear, they crouch down and dash out the exit to safety.
A photograph later shows the elder girl being carried away by a Kenyan soldier still clutching the bag of shopping.
At least 61 civilians have been killed since Al Shabaab gunmen stormed the Westgate shopping centre on Saturday.
Kenya´s President last night announced that his country had ´ashamed and defeated´ its attackers, but even as he spoke shots were heard inside the mall.
Gunshots also rang out this morning, but government spokesman Manoah Esipisu said they came from Kenyan forces going room to room, firing protectively before entering unknown territory.
Somali terror group Al Shabaab today claimed that 137 hostages they had seized in Nairobi´s Westgate shopping mall had died.
