Bank angle in the SIM video

In the final seconds of the SIM video, the aircraft banks over by 90 degrees prior to impact, just like the crash videos shown earlier in this thread, as it emerges from the cloud base.

Some commentors have said that such a bank angle is not possible with an extreme nose down pitch, or that it would result in a turn away from the runway, or that it would be a level CFIT anyway, despite visual evidence to the contrary.

It seems to me that the SIM has exactly replicated the event as recorded on CCTV, so why is that? And if so there ought to be a lesson for all.
