"...the plane had already turned west BEFORE...Alright - good night.."

Boy, I gotta call BS on that. Controllers, by habit, look at the target displayed when talking to the flight. They WOULD notice the turn, and would not switch the a/c over to next controller, hence - no "Alright - good night."

But, I don't buy half of what comes out from various sources.

Well, CNN already corroborated NBC News report and said that it’s true..could be that the controller wasn’t looking, who knows, the middle of the night, long day, maybe he/she just wasn’t paying attention

Do you know where the boundaries of their radar are?

A former CIA guy on Kelly’s panel questioned that this direction change wasn’t seen on radar when the co-pilot was signing off .... the aviation experts on the panel answered that the plane was already off of radar (outside of range), just still in radio contact.
