Ok, my theory is deliberate act, pilot controlled ditch at dawn.
Baby-poo brown lines are surface terminator at times shown.
Sunrise at FL400 is 19 minutes before surface for given position (as noted bottom right).
Flight was Igari-Penang-Medan-Milam-FMT west of Sibolga - thence direct to TOD at FL400 at 23:40/41zulu (sky blue track) - thence descent to BOD at 2,000 ft RA at 00:00/01zulu (green track) as shown.
Subsequent maneouvering was east then nnw to ditch at 00:18/19zulu on 00:18zulu terminator around 38S.
Graphic: TOD 23:40/41zulu to BOD 00:00/01zulu
Graphic: The "big-picture"
Note, position is inside 6th and 7th arcs (which are wrong - regardless of what Beaker says).
