‘The Simpsons’ allegedly predicted Titanic submarine disappearance 17 years ago

It seems that once again “The Simpsons” has predicted the future.

In the past, the animated TV show has seemingly prophesied bizarre historical events which actually came to pass, such as Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential run and the death of Queen Elizabeth ii.

This time, the show may have predicted the disappearance of the OceanGate submersible that was exploring the ruins of the Titanic.

Originally airing in 2006, the episode features Homer Simpson’s long-lost father, Mason Fairbanks, giving a rather chilling speech before going under the sea with his son.

“Today I am filled with joy. Searching for treasure with my long-lost son. My dream for each of you is that you find the happiness I feel today,” declared Fairbanks.

After exploring for a bit, the duo comes across the remains of a massive ship filled to the brim with treasure.

Simpson, after radioing his friends to tell them of the find, manages to accidentally get the submersible stuck within a portion of the barrier reef.

Starting to panic, Simpson attempts to wrench himself free only for the sub’s “low oxygen” light to begin flashing before he descends into a coma.

Thankfully, it’s a happy ending for the character as he awakens three days later surrounded by his family.

The recently resurfaced clip has been causing waves of shock and awe on Twitter.

“Count on The Simpson to always predict some s–t,” said one social media user.

“Before I do anything dangerous ima make sure ‘The Simpsons’ haven’t made an episode of it yet cos how the f–k did they predict the #Titanic Submarine incident,” tweeted a second person.

“The Simpson writers should be investigated because this is insane,” joked a third person.

“I do not know what surprises them of the lost submarine in the Atlantic that went down to see the remains of the Titanic, the Simpsons had already warned us,” echoed a fourth person.

The small submersible, owned by OceanGate Expeditions and only carrying about four days’ worth of oxygen, reportedly vanished about an hour and 45 minutes into the trip on Sunday.

Since then, rescue teams have been working around the clock in an attempt to rescue the five passengers onboard.

As of Thursday, it was reported that the small underwater vehicle has officially run out of emergency oxygen.

This is also not the first time an OceanGate sub has gotten lost.

In 2022, the $250,000 experience went dark for a few hours after it lost the signal from the ship that was guiding the vessel.

OceanGate Exploration has also faced several questions regarding the submersible’s safety.

In 2018, the group dealt with “quality control and safety” problems after the former director of marine operations, David Lochridge, said that he raised an issue with the company’s handling of the submersible.

Lochridge claimed that he found a “lack of non-destructive testing performed on the hull of the Titan,” and when he raised the issues with OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush, he was wrongfully terminated, according to a lawsuit he filed that year.
