How do you guys know? There is no visible parts to justify what shark species it is. I highly doudt its a megladon, but i think you guys are jumping to conclusions just by seeing the side of it.

Did you watch the whole video? We also saw the head and mouth.

It is a (Sleeper Shark) This has been said over and over on other threads i have seen.
I remember the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." - J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Basking sharks and whale sharks are plankton eaters and feed on the surface dont they? I was going to say a sleeper shark, but i thought in that youtube vid I'm sure i saw more than 5 gills.?

I've seen baskings and whales, but the creature in this film is definately neither. It's a sleeper for sure.

Your right Mattshark. Besides basking and whale sharks are plankton eaters, and that shark on that vid was eating a squid.

The whole point of this is that the Sleeper is a huge predatory shark even if more related to the Dogfish Sharks than to the Great White/Meg.  If some of the accounts of huge examples are true, then a gigantic predatory shark still lives in the ocean even if it isn't a "Meg".  A sixty foot "dogfish" would still a sixty foot predatory shark, even if Megaladon sounds more impressive.  Perhaps the biggest predatory shark ever, is still among us, and is a Sleeper and not a Meg.

Is is a miconception to believe the "biggest" anything has to be "prehistoric".  The biggest animal ever is the Blue Whale.  The biggest "toothed" carnivore is also alive today, the Sperm Whale, and perhaps the biggest non-plankton eating shark ever, is not an extinct meg, but a very rare, enormous Sleeper.   If some of the reports are true, it may take over the Sperm Whale as the largest "toothed" predator.
