wedged

米同時多発テロの現場となったニューヨークの世界貿易センタービルの近くで、ビルに突入した飛行機のものとみられる着陸用部品が１１年半ぶりに見つかりました。

wedgeはn.「くさび」で、v.で用いられるときには「〈ドアなどを〉くさびで留める」「(くさびのように)無理に割り込ます」という意味になります。ここは「（ビルとビルの間に）はまり込んでいるのが見つかった」となるでしょうか。LDOCEをみると、vt.で"to force something firmly into a narrow space"とあります。すきまにピタッとはまり込んでしまったのでしょうね。でもそれが11年半も気づかれないなんて...。不思議なことです。（UG）

Sept. 11 Attack Plane Landing Gear Found in New York

Twelve years later, New Yorkers are still discovering remnants of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

What New York City police say was part of a landing gear from one of the planes hijacked and crashed on 9/11 was found wedged between two buildings a few blocks from the World Trade Center site. It was wedged between 51 Park Place and 50 Murray Street.

Surveyors hired by one of the property owners were inspecting the buildings when they found the piece, which, police said, includes a "clearly visible Boeing identification number."

The site of the discovery is being treated like a crime scene and it will be up to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in New York to decide whether to search it for human remains.
