Talk:Mountain Men/@comment-26269248-20150524165127

You know, I did realize something recently that's not really a plot hole but something I need clarification for. Back in The 48, Dante tells Clarke how when the doors of Mount Weather were opened the 1st time, they were opened for 5 minutes, presumably some of the Mountain Men got a good look of the Surface, and 54 people out of about 250 died from the exposure, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM DIED (that's the important thing to remember here). Since SOME of the Mountain Men (like Dante) weren't killed when the doors opened, it made me think that maybe some of the Mountain Men can survive from the radiation (even if only for a short period of time and without the need for the blood of the Grounders). However, in BMHBP2, when Clarke, Bellamy, and Monty expose Level 5 to the radiation to save their friends/families, every single Mountain Man (except for Cage and Emerson) died from the exposure within maybe 3 minutes, and it appeared that the radiation affected all of them equally (even if some of them had blood from the Delinquents already in them). With all of this said, I thought that since only 54 out of over 250 people died from radiation exposure the 1st time that MAYBE SOME could have survived from the floor wide exposure in the finale, but instead that didn't happen and all the Mountain Men died. So my final question, if going off what Dante said back in The 48 shouldn't SOME of the Mountain Men have survived the radiation exposure OR at least taken more than 5 minutes to die from it?
