Eyewitnesses say the streets "were filled with fire"



Another two bodies have been found after a runaway train carrying crude oil exploded in the Canadian town of Lac-Megantic, police say.


The death toll from Saturday's pre-dawn explosion now stands at three, and there are fears it may rise further.


The blast sent a fireball and black smoke into the air, forcing the evacuation of 1,000 people.


Dozens of buildings were destroyed in the town, about 250km (155 miles) east of Montreal.


Police are trying to account for dozens of missing people.


The train's cars reportedly uncoupled from a parked engine and derailed early on Saturday.
