The writers of the infamous American animated sitcom The Simpsons may have predicted another real-life event. This time it is about the missing submarine “Titan”, which on Sunday, June 18, sank into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean to take five tourists on board to the remains of the Titanic.
According to experts, the submarine suffered a “catastrophic implosion” that instantly killed all five people on board.
Although the tragic situation has shocked millions around the world, in recent days on social media, people have been discussing that The Simpsons knew what was going to happen back in 2006.
In an episode of the cartoon titled “Simpsons Tide”, Homer Simpson and his long-lost biological father Mason Fairbanks go on a submarine expedition. The two stumble upon a wreck where Homer’s submarine soon gets stuck. As he tries to get away, however, he notices that his control panel starts to read “oxygen low”, which is replaced by “oxygen low” within seconds.
For Homer, this incident has a happy ending. He wakes up in a hospital bed three days later.
The similarity of these few scenes to the current tragedy with the submarine “Titan” has led users on social networks to note the fact that the sitcom once again predicted a major event.
16 years ago, an episode of The Simpsons also predicted that Donald Trump would one day become president of the United States. In 2008, in episode 20 of season 4, they showed how Homer tried to vote for Barack Obama in the presidential election, but a faulty machine changed his vote. Four years later, a voting machine in Pennsylvania had to be eliminated after it was found to be changing votes for Barack Obama to votes for his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney.
In addition, people believe that the animation also predicted the Ebola epidemic in 2014. In a scene from the episode, Homer’s wife Marge suggests that the sick Bart read a book titled “Curious George and the Ebola Virus”. In the 1990s, it was not very common, but a few years later it became a leading news item.
What are some possible explanations for The Simpsons’ uncanny foresight, considering their predictions of significant events like the missing submarine incident and the election of Donald Trump
The writers of the iconic animated sitcom, The Simpsons, continue to astound with their uncanny predictions of real-life events. This time, it seems they may have foreseen the tragic incident involving the missing submarine “Titan” that sank into the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean on June 18th, claiming the lives of five tourists on board.
Experts have determined that the submarine suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” resulting in the immediate demise of all those aboard. While the world mourns this devastating event, social media has been buzzing with discussions about The Simpsons’ apparent foresight, dating back to 2006.
In an episode titled “Simpsons Tide,” Homer Simpson, along with his long-lost father, Mason Fairbanks, embarks on a submarine expedition. During their adventure, they come across a wreck that ensnares Homer’s submarine. As he attempts to free himself, he notices his control panel displaying the alarming message, “oxygen low.” Within seconds, this is replaced by an even more concerning message, “oxygen nonexistent.”
Fortunately, for Homer, this harrowing ordeal ends with him waking up in a hospital bed three days later. The striking resemblance between this scene and the recent tragedy involving the “Titan” submarine has led social media users to once again marvel at The Simpsons’ ability to predict significant events.
This is not the first time the beloved animated series has seemingly seen into the future. Sixteen years ago, The Simpsons also predicted that Donald Trump would become President of the United States. In an episode from season 4, aired in 2008, Homer attempts to vote for Barack Obama but encounters a faulty voting machine that changes his vote. Four years later, a similar incident occurred in Pennsylvania, where a voting machine mistakenly switched votes for Barack Obama to votes for his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney.
Furthermore, The Simpsons may have also foreshadowed the Ebola epidemic in 2014. In an episode, Marge suggests that their son, Bart, read a book titled “Curious George and the Ebola Virus,” a reference that was seen as unusual at the time but became a major news topic a few years later.
The ability of The Simpsons to seemingly predict these significant events continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Whether it is sheer coincidence or a testament to the writers’ remarkable foresight, one thing is certain – The Simpsons will forever remain a pop culture phenomenon.
Wow, The Simpsons strikes again! It’s incredible how this show seems to foresee real-life events. Absolutely mind-boggling.
