On 8 March 2012, fire broke out at about 200 metres from the exit on the Kowloon side of the southbound tunnel (ie the old tube opened in 1967). Maintenance work on old water pipes under the road by Water Supplies Department staff were being carried out at the time. The fire started at around 3am and was eventually put out by noon.

Famous quotes containing the word management:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deserving of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.””
