(-23) THIS PART 121 REVENJE FLIGHT WAS CONDUCTED AS UNITED EXPRESS FLIGHT NO. 6798, FROM SPRINGFIELD, IL TO CHICAGO O'HARE AIRPORT WITH VFR WEATHER PREVAILING.

THE CREW LANDED THE AIRPLANE WITH THE LANDING GEAR UP, RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRFRAME.

AN EVACUATION WAS INITIATED BY THE PASSENGERS, THEN SUPERVISED BY THE CREW.  INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OCCURRED DURING THE EVACUATION.
