Big Ben's Silence Baffles Engineers
May 28, 9:27 AM (ET)
By THOMAS WAGNER

LONDON (AP) -- Big Ben, the landmark London clock renowned for its accuracy
and chimes, stopped ticking for 90 minutes, an engineer said Saturday.

Officials do not know why the 147-year-old clock on the banks of the River
Thames stopped at 10:07 p.m. Friday. It resumed keeping time, but stalled
again at 10:20 p.m. and remained still for about 90 minutes before starting
up again, a spokeswoman for the House of Commons said on condition of
anonymity, citing government policy.

There has been speculation a recent spell of hot weather may have been to
blame. Temperatures in London reached 90 Saturday, and forecasters called it
England's hottest day in May since 1953.

Big Ben, which is operated by the Palace of Westminster, survived attacks by
German Luftwaffe bombers during World War II, continuing to mark the time to
within 1 1/2 seconds of Greenwich Mean Time.

However, the clock has experienced occasional problems.

In 1962, snow caused the clock to ring in the New Year 10 minutes late. In
1976, the clock stopped when a piece of its machinery broke. Big Ben also
stopped on April 30, 1997, and once more three weeks later.

Big Ben is actually the clock's 13-ton bell, which was named after Sir
Benjamin Hall, the British commissioner of works at the time the clock was
built.

The official name for the Gothic tower holding Big Ben is St. Stephen's
Tower. Standing 315 feet tall, it was completed in 1858 after an 1834 fire
destroyed most of the Palace of Westminster.
