I think that there is a definite FIRE danger. 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.

Obviously, we pay a bit more attention to this subject in Hawaii than
others might. Personally, I would rather make a forced landing on water
than in tough terrain. A big advantage is there is no fire danger. The
