I was noting the moral justification,

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.

You can't heroically intercept your own screw up, that's your moral obligation, to not try to fix it is immoral. The fact she didn't deal with it earlier makes her worse than someone who didn't create the problem and thus didn't need to act, not better.

Heroism requires that you are doing beyond what is expected of you, this is the bare minimum after what she did.

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.
