As I understand it, the last radar returns showed it turned twice, with the last turn heading to India. The only reason we are searching where we are is that the pings to Inmarsat were decoded and the time shifts proved that at some time after the last radar “paint” the dead or unconscious “person” at the controls took control and headed south. Or the auto-pilot
(HAL) took control. Am I correct?
Depending upon the latitude, due west could be towards India. The behaviour while over the South China Sea may have been to move from one air corridor to another without attracting too much attention.

If the person at the controls was already dead or unconscious, why didn't the plane maintain it's present course? Furthermore, if the plane's flight control system was hacked and remotely controlled, why did the hackers select just flight-370? Why didn't they hack the entire fleet?
