Looks to me like the plane made the left turn and flew on until no fuel, then went down. Now the question is: why did the crew make the turn and then do nothing? Crew suicide is most likely reason in my mind. Crew did not have guts to nose dive so they just flew west until fuel starvation forced them/him into water.
Oxygen deprivation maybe? Perhaps the pilot or copilot made the left turn in a somewhat delirious state and then passed out? How good are these Malaysian aircrews? Maybe they’re as good as our guys, but I can’t say. I know our guys get a lot of training to include being able to detect their own oxygen deprivation symptoms.

But why did the pilot do it? He didn’t seem like an “Allahu Akbar” type from the youtubes he liked.
