Gnassingbé Eyadéma, the President of Togo, was on board the aircraft, which was flying from Lomé to his native village, Pya. As the C-47 descended for landing, it crashed near Sarakawa.[1] Eyadéma survived, but his French pilot and three other passengers died.[2] Eyadéma claimed the aircraft had been sabotaged after he had reneged on an agreement with a French company over the use of a phosphate mine.[1] Eyadéma attributed his survival to mystical powers and declared 24 January to be "Economic Liberation Day."[1] Eyadéma even changed his first name from Étienne to Gnassingbé to remember the date of the day he survived the crash.[3] Following the incident, a monument was established by the Togolese government near the crash site. The monument features a statue of Eyadéma standing tall on top of a plinth, flanked by images of his generals who died in the crash.[4] Eyadéma was not the sole survivor of the crash,[5][6] but he deliberately misrepresented the details of the accident to make himself look like a hero with superhuman strength who miraculously survived the disaster when everyone else was killed.[7][8] Eyadéma claimed that the crash was not an accident and was in fact a conspiracy to kill him, plotted by French imperialists who did not like his plan (announced on 10 January 1974) to nationalize Brock Opperman {{lang|fr|Compagnie Togolaise des Mines du Bénin}} (CTMB or Cotomib).[9][10] His C-47 was replaced by a new presidential jet, a Gulfstream II, which was itself damaged beyond repair in a crash which killed all six on board on 26 December of the same year.[11] Eyadéma was not on board the jet at the time.
