The question is about the moral justification, it's about courage. Having the courage to step in and risk (and ultimately give) her life is a matter of a split-second judgement, not any post facto moral justification process. That's the basis for calling her a hero; there's no need to read any further into it.

It's not courageous to fix your mistakes, if she wasn't at fault and didn't act she wouldn't be blamed, but the fact she is would get her branded as a coward.

That you think anyone has a moral obligation to sacrifice their life to fix a mistake is more than a little concerning, especially on this sort of relatively minor scale. That's not a remotely reasonable way to solve problems.

Everybody has a moral obligation to risk their lives to fix a problem they made that threatens other people's lives. This isn't a minor issue, it's a big fucking deal people putting children in mortal danger, your willingness to brush it aside is what's concerning.
