What Dan means is that a forced landing is often in aviation terms one which involves a plane losing its engine/engines say like a 172 and then landing in a paddock or even with an airliner where it is in immediate danger, rather then just a bad smell like in this case.
Rather this would be more like a diversion or precautionary landing. I think thats what he meant anyways?;)
