Dan Rather's laughable account of what he thinks he saw in the Zapruder film
Tom Graves:

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
A Question for Storing: How far do you think the limo was from the base of the TSBD when JFK was hit by the first bullet that hit him?
"About 35 yards," as Rather says?
Royell Storing:
Well, think of that distance this way. On a MLB diamond, the straight line distance from home plate to 2nd base is roughly 40 yards. Now place yourself on the corner of Houston/Elm on the same side of Elm St as the TSBD. Look straight down Elm St. If you are talking about the JFK BACK Shot, I would say 35-40 yards would be accurate.

He said from the base of the building, not from the tip of the "island" in front of the building.
Regardless, why do so many people say the second shot (the shot that wounded both JFK and JBC around Z-222) travelled about 240 feet (80 yards) from the Sniper's Nest window to JFK's back?

The difference is the elevation of the sixth floor window. Plus the sniper’s window is on the east end of the TSBD building. Rather’s description is strictly the distance at ground level and probably from the west end of the TSBD building.

Dan Rather was not in Dealey Plaza and his description was from Zapruders position.
