But, there are numerous reports of Megalodon sightings?

Yes, I have also hard many such reports. But there is no solid evidence of it that they still exist. You can see many such photos and videos in the internet but all of these are, probably, nothing but hoax. But, the oceans are huge. Most of the parts of the big oceans are beyond our reach still today. So, we cannot say it firmly that the Megalodon is no more. May be, they have migrated to the deepest depths of the oceans and evolved to survive in those super cool, super heavy, dark waters.

It depends upon the thickness of the steel. The bite force of a Megalodon jaw was as much as 18 tons per square inch, enough for breaking through even one or two inches thick sheet of steel.

Yes, big whales are not very easy to haunt. But they were no match to the agility and the destructive jaw of this gigantic shark. Megalodon attacked the tough bony portions of the whale and crushed the bones by raw force. Often they crushed the rib cage of the whales resulting immobility and death of the Leviathan.

If they were so formidable then why Megalodon is extinct today?

There may be many reasons behind the extinction of the Megalodon. The Megalodon was strong but they did not live in cold water. With the coming of the ice age, the temperature of the oceans was dropped very low. The Megalodon did not adapt well with it like many other big animals. Most of the tropical sea animals and fishes were not also able to adapt with the cooler oceans. They perished and as a result the big Megalodon was without food. Ultimately, they were finished by the nature itself.

How it would be if the Megalodon was still present today?

Probably, if they were in sufficient numbers, human civilization was hampered a bit. It would be very, very difficult to cross the oceans using wooden ships. The big Megalodon could bite the bottom of the ships to sink it. There would be the conflict between the two super predators, the Megalodons and us.

Who would win?

Why? We have such thick headed heroes like you whom no Megalodon could do nothing. Megalodons had strength but no wit and we have intelligence. They would be no match to us.
