This news covers significant historical events and incidents that occurred on November 28, including a tragic aircraft crash in New Zealand, Whitney Houston's record-breaking single, the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the death of Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ferdinand Magellan's historic voyage into the Pacific Ocean.
Investigators have concluded that the aircraft did not suffer any mechanical failures and was not caught in a polar storm. The plane simply collided with a mountain at an altitude of 460 meters. When investigating the cockpit voice recorder (black box), they heard the flight engineer express dissatisfaction approximately 30 seconds before the crash. This disaster deeply affected New Zealand, a country with a population of three million at the time.
An initial inquiry attributed the cause to pilot error, while a subsequent investigation placed the blame on Air New Zealand. American singer Whitney Houston began a record-breaking 14-week reign at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 with her iconic song from The Bodyguard. The single sold over 24 million copies globally and became the best-selling single by a female solo artist ever. Following Germany's defeat in World War I, Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and went into exile in the Netherlands. He had been an enthusiastic supporter of the war at its outset in 1914 but became increasingly unpopular as casualties mounted and food shortages worsened. On November 28, 1994, notorious American serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer was fatally beaten by a fellow inmate in prison. Dahmer, a former chocolate factory worker, lured young men to his apartment, drugged them, and strangled them. He consumed parts of one victim and retained the remains of others. On November 28, 1520, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan became the first European to sail into the Pacific Ocean after navigating through the strait that now bears his name at the southern tip of South America
