SIMPSONS “SIMPSONS TIDE”

Episode back in 1998

Concerning - (SIMPSONS) “SUBMERSIBLE”

May have predicted the Titanic submersible's disappearance.

Fans of The Simpsons are sure that the show somewhat predicted the situation that has been unfolding with OceanGate’s Titan submersible on its voyage to take people to the Titanic.

Over the last few years, The Simpsons has been caught in a series of unexplainable coincidences with things that have actually happened in real life.

Things like the shape of the original iPod, the invention of the Apple Watch, who’d be President of the United States, and the Rolling Stones still being on tour after 50 years have all come up.

Simpsons Tide is a classic episode, putting Homer in charge of a navy submarine. So, it is slightly different from what’s happening with the Titan.

However, in Homer’s Paternity Coot, he has his own personal submarine and treks to a shipwreck for treasure with his long-lost father. Naturally, Homer becomes stuck trying to resurface.

Other fans noted that one of the original writers on The Simpsons, Mike Reiss, actually voyaged on the Titan with OceanGate to view the Titanic.

Reiss has also revealed that the submersible had communication issues when he was a passenger.

The situation with the Titan remains a tense one, with ships and rescue equipment from across the globe being sent in order to try and assist.
