So, based on the timing of the ACARS messages, if the aircraft continued to fly more or less on course for approx. 2 min 16 sec, then made a hard turn to the left lasting some 30 sec (perhaps turning roughly 90 degrees? how far can an A330 turn in 30 sec in a steep bank?) and then continued in flight while descending to strike the ocean roughly 1 min 15 sec later, can someone show on the map the most likely impact region? It sounds to me like it would match pretty well with the very early analysis of the impact location based on drift analysis (the one that showed the sharp left turn).
