Uh. Rules regarding tornados are always shelter in place since getting thrown in your vehicle by a tornado is much more risky.
eeh, this seems like a massive, dishonest stretch. If employees were forced out of the building and killed in the parking lot, on the highway, in their cars, etc., seems like that would be worse? Generally I'd assume if a tornado is approaching and you've got minutes to decide what to do, you should shelter in place.
It's one thing if the building doesn't meet coding standards for severe weather, or something, but honestly in natural disasters I think it's pretty hard to call someone a murderer. If a tornado is approaching my house and we've got minutes to decide what to do, and I take my family to the basement and the house collapses and someone dies, it'd be very unfair to say that I killed my family.

One and done. When a tornado hits, you're supposed to take shelter in the building you're in. The lower the better. The less windows the better. Trying to outrun a tornado to go from Building A to Building B is just added risk.
I mean, I'm not going to pretend like I know the timeline between when shifts start, shifts end and when the tornado hit.
But yeah, this ain't it chief. This was an F5 Tornado, basement level in a large warehouse like that is probably the safest place they could have been.

Isn't the warning often incredibly short?
Once it's gone out I imagine it's safer to shelter in place than go outside.
Now, you can ask - why no hard shelter for employees? - but that's a very different question

You can blame that the tornado shelter wasn't suitable enough (though it was most likely still Code) due to the casualties, but anything else is not called for. I'm assuming the OP has not lived near a tornado prone area.
It'd be one thing if the Tornado warning came at like 6am , everyone was told to seek shelter before noon, the ceo told everyone they still had to come into work by 9am or be fired, and then the tornado hit the building at noon killing everyone who came meanwhile the CEO his in the shelter.
In that hypothetical situation, yes, this would be late stage capitalism at it's worst.

Look, I'm all for ending the strangle hold of capitalism, but staying in a building during a tornado seems like the safer option to me.
Sadly, nature can be devastating and these people lost their lives in what, at the time, maybe was the safest place.

They are yes.
You can try and predict the storms they're attached to, but they drop and vanish in an instant.
This one was 2 miles wide and dropped in about 20 seconds.
Tornado warnings go off after the tornado has already touched down. So by the time it goes off, you shelter in place somewhere with as few windows as possible.
Kentucky doesn't usually get tornados, right? Is that why they did think the storm would create tornados?
How strong was the storm.
