Looks like a very successful gear up landing including evacuation.
Departure was in Newark and the aircraft landed at Warsaw.

It was Capt Wrona who landed the aeroplane. Wrona means crow in Polish.

Now there is a new saying sweeping the internet.

"Lataj jak orzeł, ląduj jak Wrona"
"Fly like an eagle, land like a Crow"

The Polish Authorities released a report identifying the problem.

From the report:

Members of the State Commission on Aircraft Accident Investigation arrived at the aerodrome about 15-20 minutes after the evacuation of passengers and crew. They carried out the initial inspection of the aircraft and found that in the cockpit, on P6 panel, the circuit breaker C829 BAT BUS DISTR (on A1 position) was in the position „Off”, while the circuit breaker C4248 LANDING GEAR - ALTN EXT MOTOR (on F6 position) was in the position „On”. Records of on-board recorders (CVR - Cockpit Voice Recorder, FDR - Flight Data Recorder and QAR - Quick Access Recorder) were protected and photographic documentation was made. The circuit breaker C829 (BAT BUS DISTR) indicated on Photo 5 protects several airplane systems including the alternate landing gear extension system.
