39 年前，618 雨災，半山旭龢道旭龢大廈因山泥傾瀉全幢倒塌，把在羅便臣道新建成，還未入伙的景翠園頂 4 層劈掉。大律師烈顯倫埋在土堆多日，憑口中不斷唱著《Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head》這首曲，維持繼續生存下去的意志，終於獲救。烈顯倫後成為大律師公會主席、法官。又一次應驗了“大難不死，必有後福”的說法。《Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head 》是電影《神槍手與智多星 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 1969 》的主題曲，當然是上了當時的10大歐西歌曲流行榜。記得電影是在農曆年的檔期推出，非常買座。

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
[trumpet]
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
1972 – ‘618’ Rain Disaster. This was one of the most destruction rain disasters ever in Hong Kong history. 650 mm of rainfall was recorded between June 16 and 18, 1972.
After a continuous torrential rain of 18 hours, a devastating landslide occurred at 8.50pm on June 18, 1972. Approximately 40,000 square meters of debris travelled some 270 meters down slope. As a result, the Kotewall Building disappeared in seconds, while two other buildings severely damaged. Death toll was 67, only at this site.
Rain disasters aren’t rare in Hong Kong, but 618 is never forgotten by Hong Kong people. Natural disasters usually attack poor, but 618 attacked both rich and poor. Kotewall Building at the mid levels of Hong Kong Island is a very prestigious address where many rich people live. 618 created a huge number of super class victims. All at a sudden, lawyers, doctors, professors and senior government officials became homeless and were crying for help.
With current land preservation, Hong Kong is now a very safe place. Landslide has almost become part of Hong Kong history.
