Also, one question that hasn't been dissected is: If it were extinct, why did this monster become instinct?

Sharks are known to be the longest surviving beast in the universe, right? So, if this Megalodon existed at one point, then what happened? If it was the king of the fucking ocean then .....

That video from the helicopter was pretty crazy, but it didn't look like what ever it was was moving very naturally, though i guess at that size it wouldn't look that natural

This is going to end with "but at the end of the day...we really don't know what happened". I mean, if they proved the existence of Megaladon we'd have heard about it before this aired, right?

10 foot + sharks are enough to make me think about going in the ocean, anything bigger then that just seems like overkill since the 10+ footer could kill me pretty quickly also. But my feeling is that if its gonna happen then its gonna happen, m not gonna go swimming in the middle of the ocean, but i love the beach and the waves, so i just put it out of my mind and have fun

Honestly, you might be better off getting attacked by a giant shark. Quicker death.
