I sure hope someone can explain this better than I can. Apparently the plane did make that left turn and I suppose it may have done all those other zigzags and arcs, but if it was not pre-programmed then it was more likely an unexpected emergency. Am I understanding right! Which would mean it wasn't the crew members?
from CNN:
"It is important because it is more consistent (with an emergency). In other words, if the pilots had put in this waypoint that they were going to turn to and that they knew in advance of their last communication that they were going to turn, then everyone was (saying) that this had to be a premeditated act," said Mary Schiavo, a CNN aviation analyst and a former inspector general of the U.S. Department of Transportation. "Now if this information is correct, and it was not premeditated, then it does fit very closely with the scenario that, whatever happened, happened suddenly and they turned perhaps to go back to an emergency airport."
