The clock in what is now the Elizabeth Tower certainly did suffer a catastrophic failure - one end of the mechanism essentially exploded when it ran away, causing major damage. This damage was repaired, but I believe the clock is currently undergoing a total restoration concurrent with major work on the tower.
