I fly over the crash area all the time and can tell you that there is a
fair
amount of open land nearby. That pasture (or whatever) may not look as
airplane friendly as a paved road, but for a deadstick pilot a road is
like
a sucker hole for a VFR pilot.

Sucker holes can work. It depends on the pilot's familiarity with the area.
The only part of your blanket statement I can agree with is the part about
flying it all the way down. I disagree that fields are better than roads
when used as a blanket statement. Every crash scene is different.
