No, not really, unless you call flying for hundreds of miles in a straight line, making a turn, then doing the same again normal for a “ghost flight”?
All the above looks like a mechanical accident failure scenario.
Having looked at this from many angles, as 777 rated pilot, I can’t think of anything that would produce the recorded flight path with no pilot input.
No need for all this wild hijack/suicide/murder speculation
IMHO the wild speculation is mostly centred about trying to explain what happened by trying to shoehorn sequences of improbable failures into the recorded flight, without much understanding of the technical ramifications. Unlawful interference fits without any contortions and this is not an isolated one-off, unfortunately.
