1972年6月18日，整天滂沱大雨，引發到處山泥傾瀉 ， 同一日分別在雞寮與旭龢道發生山泥傾瀉悲劇，雞寮死七十多人，旭龢道死六十多人
位處雞寮(今翠屏邨)11座旁邊的臨屋區，一幅150英呎高的天然山坡，因為連日
持續暴雨侵蝕\而倒繃，被斜坡滑下的沙泥、樹木迅間淹沒，觸目驚心；由於事發在星期天不用上班，加上連日大雨，多數市民留在木屋内沒有外出，所以死傷頗嚴重。
當日民安隊、水雷炮、消防員等通宵挖掘，於斜對面球塲搭建很多帳幕為指揮中心及停屍間，記憶所及是連續2天通宵搶救，有街坊、冰室老闆派粥、麵包、舊衣物等應急；面對如此慘劇，很多街坊都睡不著圍在七層大厦騎樓觀望，黑色星期天的烙印，如今憶起也覺恐怖，難以磨烕。
另一邊港島旭龢道山坭傾瀉災難, 列顯倫大律師被塌下石屎壓著兩天, 在被救出時竟大難不死, 而邵氏電影女星邢慧之家姐就沒有那麽好彩, 被塌下石塊壓斃.
所以618被稱為香港山泥傾瀉史最黑暗的一天，而本港第一次大形籌善欵節目，就在24/6晚於TVB舉辦，多位名人出錢，藝人出力，亦是香港電視史第一次通宵播出，賬災善款籌得9百萬.
Mary Hopkin 生於1950
學生時代己組成The Selby Set & Mary業餘民歌樂隊 ,
1968年是 Mary 歌唱生涯的開始，當年在嬴得電視歌唱比賽冠軍，
即晚被Apple Records賞識並且與Paul McCartney約定次天試音，
共試錄8首歌曲，而其中一首~Those Were The Days被選中為市塲試金石，
由Paul McCartney監制發行single細碟相當受落，
就此奠定Mary Hopkin的民歌型像，
展開歌手生涯.雖然Those Were The Days不是第一位唱者，
但就是最受歡迎的版本，而且她更另外用四種語言再灌錄，
可想而知此曲在世界很多地方都是大受歡迎
Those Were The Days -- Mary Hopkins
Music & Lyrics : Gene Raskin(1960)
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La ......Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
(Those were the days my friend.......)
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me
(Those were the days my friend.....)
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
