nakumatt's westgate was the premiere supermarket in nairobi. it had an escalator. it was a huge thing for kenya to have an escalator inside a supermarket. and they sold everything you might need, and that was always its tag line, all under one roof. >> we would be there two or three times during the week. it's more than just a mall to buy, you know, extra stuff. it was really part of our lives. >> that saturday was really a normal saturday, like any other saturday. i went with my kids, my daughter, emily, who's 6 years old, and my son, eliot, who's 4. i was quite excited, because i was doing a big shop and i tried to do all my shopping at the local supermarket, but i was finding stuff i don't normally find. i'm french and i was finding a drink you get in france and getting really excited about it. >> we were planning on getting as many groceries as we could. and we needed to do it relatively quickly, because i had a little baby who was 8 months old and he was hitting close to nap time. we took our time, but we were thinking, okay, baby's going to lose it soon, he n
