I do bring it up during interviews if given the opportunity though. Request a copy of your record and I'm sure you'll find that clean.
Are you sure it isn't an 'Incident'?
From ICAO Annex 13:
Incident.
An occurrence, other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft which affects or could affect the safety of operation.
A forced landing would seem to fit this definition.
