8. She did not die saving her children.

She died because she raced into a burning house. The children got out without her.

It's genuinely tragic that she died, but firemen will tell you NEVER to enter a burning building. TV and movies show people doing that all the time and surviving. In reality, you will most likely die because fire spreads far more quickly than most people understand, especially because they have that false image from TV and movies.
