So it was an avalanche?
Yeah, they're saying specifically a small, hardened avalanche that buried the tent, forcing the team to cut and dig their way out and then try to regroup elsewhere with their injured members.

The speculation is that with the terror of being buried in their sleep and 3 severely injured group members to worry about, they made the mistake of trying to flee to the cover of the forest below and build fires to stay warm, but eventually succumbed to hypothermia anyway.

Of course, none of this is "proven" and never will be. They're just saying that the research shows it was all highly plausible on that night considering the exact slope of the hill, the wind conditions, the particular size of the avalanche that would have broken off under such conditions and the type of injuries that sort of avalanche would have caused. And since most mountaineering folk have always thought it was an avalanche but didn't know how it would have happened under those particular conditions, the fact that it is now shown that it could have happened that way is enough for them.

Police in other countries have told CBSA his fingerprints match two different citizens of Cameroon, a citizen of Haiti, and a man of unknown citizenship.
Well that answers it, breh is just a guy from Haiti, two guys from Cameroon, and some other guy.

I remember one unsolved mysteries episode I watched on my birthday last year.

Ok so, A girl was working at a gas station, and a man came in the store and robbed the gas station and shot the other employee. He then takes the girl and abducts her. Years later they find out that the girl ran away & it was all planned. Wtf. The girl gre up and she had a baby with the guy. ALL of that over petty cash at a gas station. Just smdh
I don't remember if I've shared it here, but a guy I knew personally through my family disappeared when I was a kid. He was a fisherman and they found his boat floating in the river untethered. I remember we got the call that night, they spent days searching the river for him assuming he had fallen out of the boat, even dredged it looking for his body. Eventually he was declared legally dead.

Some 12 years later he calls up his family and lets them know he's still alive. It was all an elaborate plot to run away with a side chick he met at work. He was living in some podunk tiny-ass town in another state in the middle of nowhere and a local pastor started ministering to the couple who lived in a trailer. He began probing into the guy's backstory cause he didn't understand why he wasn't working (hard to work when your SS# belongs to a dead person), and eventually the guy confessed everything to him. After some time the pastor convinced him to come clean with his family, and that's how it all ended up. His wife was remarried and I think his three sons pretty much disowned him but I'm not sure.

Doesn't explain the radiation
I explained before - the radiation is red herring.


That's explained pages back - the radiation was always a red herring. It was only a trace amount and only on one sweater/jacket, not on the other people and not on the bodies. There are lots of ways to get trace amounts of radiation on a piece of your clothing - thorium from the camp lanterns, something spilled in one of the labs that several of them worked in (they were all from a Polytechnic Institute), something spilled while one of their friends in a lab was borrowing the clothing, something that was hanging outside when fallout from the frequent nuclear tests of the 1950s occurred, etc.

If radiation was a part of the incident, it would have been on some of the bodies and on someone else's clothes. But it wasn't, just on one sweater/jacket, which makes it almost certain that the sweater/jacket was contaminated in a separate or very minor event.
