From her FBI statement:
“Sandra Styles and I then ran out of the building via the stairs and went in the direction of the railroad where we had observed other people running.“
I have never heard of anyone saying people other than Adams & Styles were running around the northeast corner of the TSBD towards the railroad yard. And the fact that Adams said “had observed” indicates to me that they must have seen them running from the fourth floor window. If not, I think that it would have made better sense for them to use the elevator and front door to get to Elm Street where the shooting occurred.
I have never heard of anyone saying people other than Adams & Styles were running around the northeast corner of the TSBD towards the railroad yard.That's because nobody (to my knowledge) has ever said that and they did in fact run towards the railroad yard.
And the fact that Adams said “had observed” indicates to me that they must have seen them running from the fourth floor window. I think you mean Styles, but regardless, it can indicate that to you as much as you like, but that doesn't mean it's true. They could just as easily have seen people running towards the railway yard when they arrived on the loading dock.
If not, I think that it would have made better sense for them to use the elevator and front door to get to Elm Street where the shooting occurred.Trying to explain why somebody did something by arguing what, in your opinion, they should have done differently if your assumption isn't correct is not only a flawed argument, it's also a very weak one.
You are trying to read way too much into a choice of words by the FBI agent who wrote the FD 302 report on Styles.
You are also ignoring the fact that there is no argument about the route Adams and Styles took after leaving the TSBD at the back; towards the railroad tracks (where a police man told then to return to the building), along the side of the TSBD annex and along the front of the building towards the main entrance. There also can not be any argument about the fact that Styles re-entered the building before it was locked down (at around 1:36, according to Sergeant Harkness) and that she was photographed standing near the front entrance steps moments earlier. This means that Adams and Styles, at best, only had a 5 minute window to complete their journey from they arrival at the loading dock to the front entrance. Any additional time they would have spent at the window would reduce the time frame available to them. So, unless you are willing to argue that these women, wearing high heels shoes, could have managed to walk around three sides of the building, partly on railroad tracks, you really haven't got much of a case other than your assumption that they stayed at the window longer than Adams said.
