That plane is easily that long, and the shark is much bigger, double its length. Then later, It takes an American Attack sub in its jaws. That's in excess of 120m(in fact somewhere around 350-400ft, depending on type) The shark dwarfs the sub. It is shown to be as big as the Iowa class battleship it attacks in another scene. (887ft, close to 300M) The scale seems to vary widely, but 40M is way too small in comparison to the things it attacks. And where are you getting 40M(around 240ft)?

I'm going to take your word for it. Did you major in Shark Trajectories? @ bobM

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

Did you major in Shark Trajectories?

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.
