Even the investigation got political. I read once that they put other pilots in simulators in her situation and most also crashed. But then the pilots said they wouldn’t have gotten into that situation and when they started the simulation a few seconds earlier most of the pilots survived.

This doesn't tell the whole story. In an effort to create the illusion that she didn't screw up, the people doing the testing of these pilots in simulators deliberately turned off the engines in the simulator to create the condition where they would be unlikely to recover.

In other words, they faked the tests for propaganda purposes. I think one even survived the simulator test with all the cheating they were doing, but most could not.

The truth is she screwed up by cutting off the airstream to her engine which caused it to flame out.
