Fans Stunned By The Simpsons' Accurate Prediction Of Missing Sub

Has "The Simpsons" predicted the future once again? Some fans think the events of a 2006 episode are eerily similar to the real-life 2023 catastrophe of the Titan submersible.

Honestly there’s been so many events in these episodes that I feel like it’s not that crazy

[jontyrosenow]

Wow can't believe the Simpsons predicted a "submarine related incident" happening
What will they predict next? A man falling off a tall building? Perhaps even a cat meowing?
Someone must investigate how they are predicting all these very peculiar events!

[dougcox]

Missed the mark completely. The only thing here is that Homer rode a sub. Nothing else matches.

[runnerchick]

There was a sub that went to the titanic prior to the Titan that did get stuck in the propeller of the Titantic, they were able to break lose hrs later. That incident is more inline with the Simpsons episode, than the recent tragedy.

[nickhardy]

While trying to write 750 episodes over 34 seasons, there's gonna be a lot of material covered. When doing a submarine show there's only 2 topics to make it interesting. Sub encounters aliens or mermaids or sub gets stuck.

[Dirtboxhor]

When a show has been on the air for 30ish? years. Its gonna "predict" something eventually.

[pickledgrammar]

james cameron said the navy knew the sub imploded on monday, why did they decide to announce it on thursday?

[xero]

Now I'm convinced that The Simpsons' writers are a bunch of time travellers

[bennythespaceshipman]

There is another cartoon called “Wild Kratts” and in one of the episodes, the predictions were nearly spot on.

[sofakingcrazy]

Not a prediction at all
The Simpsons: Two people in two different submersible
Real Life: 5 people in kne submersible

The Simpsons: Random/madeup shipwreck while looking for treasures.
Real Life: Paid vouage to see and old famous shipwreck.

The Simpsons: one submersible got stuck and subject survived
Real Life: Implosion happened, submersible lost, rescue mission sent, no survivors.


There's more and you get the point. Please stop reaching with these comparisons.

[SpinDoctor]

A tiny sub with air breathing humans goes into the great depths of the ocean, defying nature. The only protection from certain death is the tiny vessel and the ability to make it back in one piece before oxygen runs out. What could possibly go wrong?
Btw the sarcasm is towards the absurdity of trying to call this episode a prediction of the recent tragedy, and not the tragedy itself.

May the poor souls who lost their lives RIP and may their families find solace in this unspeakably arduous time. I pay all my respects to them and mean no insult in any way whatsoever.

[burtreynolds]

Yeah, but Homers sub wasn't cobbled together from parts from a camping store. Nor was it controlled by a logitech gaming controller.

[myreisig]

Here's a weird parallel between The Simpsons & the Titan that I haven't heard anyone pointing that out
The Simpsons the expedition is a father/son excursion
The Titan was a Father's Day weekend excursion

[rocketfighter]

There is a YouTube video where one of the Simpson's developers is interviewed because he was one of the previous passengers in the ill-fated submersible. His wife was supposed to join him but changed her mind the
last minute because she was frightened.

Although the novel Futility was written before the RMS Titanic was even conceptualized, there are some uncanny similarities between the fictional and real-life versions. Like the Titanic, the fictional ship sank after wrecking on an iceberg in April in the North Atlantic Ocean, and there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. The Titan would have survived a head-on collision with the iceberg, but a glancing encounter did more extensive damage. There are also similarities in size (800 ft [244 m] long for the Titan versus 882 ft 9 in [269 m] long for the Titanic), speed, and life-saving equipment. After the Titanic's sinking, some people credited Morgan Robertson with precognition and clairvoyance, which he denied. Scholars attribute the similarities to Robertson's extensive knowledge of shipbuilding and maritime trends.

[MrFeatheredSerpent]

On The Simpsons it was running out of oxygen so they didn’t predict anything. The crew only ran out of oxygen due to the fact they imploded. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[Immortalrounin]

James Cameron is writing ✍️ a script. TITAN in Imax 3D staring Tom Hanks😂😂😂

[byniasofficial]

Yeah except that's not what happened. They got crushed by the pressure.

[damnyancey]

Did anyone else see the creepy face in the porthole at about 2:03 ?
