2. Pilot's priorities:

1) Aviate
2) Navigate
3) Communicate

I do not know what happened to the plane, and see no reason for wild speculation. However, the plane's left turn and decreased altitude are consistant with an in-air event that resulted in depressurization. Possible electrical problems would force shutting down most circuts, including communication. By appearances, the pilot was trying to get to the nearest available landing strip with a crippled aircraft, and crashed into the sea or remote jungle.
