Analyzing the Physics of Mega Shark
(click to enlarge)
We love our infographics here at Unreality, but this is one my favorites, as it pertains to one of the greatest movies ever made: Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. If you missed this epic occaision, the title tells you everything you need to know.
The infographic in question is breaking down the physics of one particular scene where the 40M long Megashark leaps out of the water and grabs a plane, 1500M in the air, which is really quite the extraordinary feat when you do the math.
I’ve attached the trailer for this awesome movie after the jump if you still have no idea what I’m talking about.

Interesting information; however, and in all due respect, you may want to do some recalulating of the tonnage of the two larger sharks.
Using the White shark as a basis (6m/7t), it then follows that the Megloadon would be not be (19m/103t), as you stated, but a much heavier (19m/222t).
The Mega Shark (40m/240t), as you stated, would in fact weigh an incredible 2,074t.
It seems likely that, with the revised increase in its weight, we airline passengers may still be safe from these predators at flying at 1500M.

Great work. I’m going to take your word for it.
