If this is the plane, then I don't think we have been mislead about the pings, the transponder, the acars, radars, the turnaround etc....as they are spot on with the calculations from this info....
If this is the case then can someone else please remind me of what ended up being confirmed about the timing of the turnaround???
It was a seven or eight digit code that had to be keyed in is that correct? and this was done 17 mins before the all right good night?
12:41am: Take-off
1:07am: Last ACARS status message, shows future left turn already keyed in.
1:19am: "Alright, good night"
1:21am: Transponder off, plane turns left shortly after, apparent maneuvers.
1:30am: Nearby pilot contacts MH-370, hears only "buzz" and "mumbling".
1:37am: ACARS does not send scheduled status message, must be off.
1:22am - 2:15am: Wild altitude changes, plane re-crosses Thai/Malay peninsula, turns NE toward Penang/Butterworth, but before arriving turns again sharply NW.
2:15am: MH-370 leaves Malay/Thai radar heading NW in direction of Andaman Islands.
This is vital if you ask me, because if this was done then the mechanical error does not hold to me and it leads me to one theory...........a suicide mission.......but by whom??
It's still somewhat ambiguous. The evidence suggests intentional diversion to me (I feel about 75% sure, personally), but there's probably still a way to concoct a really wild mechanical error scenario.
