Gasoline floats and can be ignited and you can have a fire especially if the tanks break up. Talk to any Navy man about fires and sinking ships. Granted that water will cool but will not stop the ignition of petroleum products that float and burn on the surface of water.

Personally, I would rather make a forced landing on water than in tough terrain. A big advantage is there is no fire danger. The
