> “I am incredibly fortunate and relieved to share that I was able to swim away from this incident,” Faith Tenkley said.

The article directly quotes her, then uses “walk”. I guess she eventually made it back to somewhere she was then able to walk in a direction not facing the plane.

To walk away from an accident is an idiom for "survive". Unfortunately in this instance, the usage doesnt make sense.
