What year did Big Ben suffer its first major breakdown?

HipInstallation8, it’s a very interesting diversion to the of American history but we have a problem with the idea of history being the only way that it’s been written in history that we have it all being written in the history of United Kingdom and America ;your thanks giving is part of the history of Britain,look your history up

funny it died 200 years after the us gained independents

It's under repair now so has been turned off.

Misleading question because Big Ben is the name of the bell not the clock or the tower.
