... it would end either in a watery grave or being shot in mid-air.

I suspect that the chances of being shot were actually fairly slim; fighters (on all sides) only carried enough ammo for a few seconds of firing, they would tend to aim for the engines on a bomber (as you can see in plenty of aerial footage that gets shown). I imagine that fire or impact with Mother Earth killed most of the crewmen. Not that any of the options is exactly preferable...
