The media are asking questions now.

The first question is about structural damage to the neighbourhood and if there could be more deaths.

Fire commissioner Jeffrey Thompson says there were five fires as a result of the crash - all have now been extinguished.

Philadelphia Managing Director Adam Thiel steps in, and says "this is a very large area with a lot of damage and we are still working in a number of different ways to assess that damage."

They are going "literally house-by-house, door-to-door," he adds.

On victims, Thiel says there could be changes to the casualty number. There are several patients in hospitals and they are still unclear about "who was where" last night.

It "could be days or more" until they can say how many people died in this crash.
