Jon never would have made it out of there if Benjen hadn't held the wights off for as long as he could.Maybe he wanted to finally die and viewed saving Jon as his one last job. A horse can carry two riders, so why didn't Benjen go with Jon? Maybe he figured that there's no point as he can't go through the Wall and would be forced to stay behind anyway.All but one Wight dies after Jon kills the White Walker, while convenient it also shows that the Night King tries preventing Keystone Army by having his scouts have one undead not under the pointman's thrall to report and warn the others.Drogon didn't dodge the scorpion fire the first time either. Also there was no real way for Viserion to know the javelin was that powerful, it could have been like any man thrown javelin and just bounce off his scales.It's been mentioned that dragons have human-like intelligence, and can thus learn from past experiences. How was the Night King able to nail Viserion, who had pace, yet miss the still accelerating Drogon? Because Viserion has little to no experience of actually being attacked by something potentially lethal to a dragon, while Drogon recognises the weapon as something similar to the Scorpion ballista bolts and evades in time. Drogon dodging the Night King's javelin, despite still picking up speed may be a case of this.Probably confident he could just take out Drogon after nailing Viserion, he likely did not expect to miss, which leads to the following point. After nailing Viserion, the Night King then proceeds to prepare another javelin for Drogon, and likely knows such a huge dragon takes time to get back up flying and pick up speed. Considering Viserion has pace, he'd be a much greater threat to the Wight army and the Night King himself, while Drogon is stationary. The Night King seemingly approaches Drogon first, then sees Viserion fly into view. Potentially the reason why the Night King chooses to aim for Viserion first, instead of the seemingly obvious target Drogon, who is grounded.
