Why it went left and not up, I don't know.
With the lack of CVR, I fear that the final report will be inconclusive and we'll be debating the least implausible theories for decades to come. Hopefully lead Oxo-bromide doesn't feature.
(*where an engine has failed and with the lack of performance, the aircraft trades height for speed until there is no rudder left to counteract the yaw and the aircraft rolls inverted, usually somewhere just off the end of the runway)
