I have been searching for confirmation or denial of that turnaround. It was put together by Chinese relatives who believe based on the various headings in and around IGARI that it may have been a looping turn around to the right, less perceptible to passengers than a hard left so to speak.
There has been no public comment from Malaysia yet about whether it is factual or not. They have refused to comment on today's behind doors meeting with relatives. This is part of the radar data that either has not been released or is possibly missing.
if true it may explain why more fuel was used in the initial stages of the diversion.
