Flight 114...the day Israel shot down a Libyan civilian plane in Sinai. A civilian plane belonging to Libyan Arab Airlines was on a flight on February 21, 1973, and it was attacked by the Israeli Air Force in the Sinai region after it deviated from its course.
It was classified as one of the largest humanitarian crimes committed against civilians in the early 1970s. The plane experienced technical problems due to heavy clouds and strong winds that resulted in sand storms in the area, close to its destination. The crew found themselves flying over the Great Bardawil Lake, then over the Bir Jifjafa area.
