The Simpsons are at it again. The popular animated series has predicted time and again real life scenarios through the lives of its yellow creatures. Some of his most popular predictions were about Donald Trump’s victory in the US election and Disney’s takeover of 20th century Fox. ‘The Simpsons’ has somehow emerged as a modern Nostradamus.

Did ‘The Simpsons’ predict the Titanic submarine?
Twitter
Well, it looks like the show has once again wowed people on the internet, as a previous episode aired in 2006 seemed to have predicted the tragic fate of the missing Titan submersible. For those who don’t know anything about the whole ordeal yet, the Titan Sub was on an expedition to view the wreckage of HMS Titanic. However, the submarine lost all contact with the surface and ran out of oxygen. The submarine has now disappeared with 5 passengers on board.
As for the ‘Simpsons’ episode that saw it all go downhill 17 years ago in the show’s 17th season, the creator admits that it was a story inspired by the ‘Crimson Tide’ movie.

In the tenth episode of the season, titled “Simpsons Tids”, Homer embarks on an underwater expedition with a man he believes to be his biological father. The man, named Mason Fairbanks, is a treasure hunter and takes Homer on his ship to recover the lost treasure from “Wet Floor.”

Father and son explore the depths of the sea in submersibles and find the treasure. However, on his way back, Homer gets stuck in a coral cave. Then his transport informs him that he is out of oxygen and he loses consciousness as oxygen levels drop dangerously low. Homer wakes up in the hospital three days later.
The Simpsons actually predicted the situation of the titanic submarine… and that they would run out of oxygen completely (watch until the end), this is really scary. pic.twitter.com/xOWtE6DTQq

Although it’s pretty obvious that the story has little to do with the tragedy of the missing Titan submarine, the internet believes that some parts of the episode are eerily similar to the fate of the submarine.
Veteran show producer Mike Reiss disagreed with the internet theories and debunked them in an interview with The New York Post. He admitted, “We didn’t predict the future; we just did it from that movie, and 20 years later, something like this happened.”
What’s even more fascinating is that Reiss himself was on board the same ship to view the wreckage of the Titanic last July.
