detect
中央道 笹子トンネルでの天井板崩落事故での死者はとうとう9人になってしましました。残念の一言です。
lie detector(ウソ発見器)で知られる動詞のdetectは「(病気やウソなどを)見つける、(人が…しているのを)見つける」というのが第一義です(『プログレッシブ英和』)。find、discoverに近い意味ですが、もっぱら良くないことに用いられます。(UG)
Several dead in expressway tunnel collapse
An expressway tunnel around 80 kilometers west of Tokyo caved in Sunday, leaving at least three vehicles trapped, with several bodies confirmed in one of them, police said.
One of the three vehicles, confirmed to be carrying five people, caught fire, while another person, detected in a truck believed to belong to a food wholesaler, had not responded to calls from outside, the police said.
The police and firefighters are investigating if other people are trapped in the tunnel, they said.
