On June 18, the Titan submarine went into the depths to view the remains of the famous Titanic wreck, located 3,800 kilometers below the surface of the sea. But what promised to be a historic scouting mission turned into a colossal incident when they lost all communication with the mainland. During four days of searching, they finally found the remains of the ship, apparently the victim of an explosion.
The news of this lost submarine in the depths of the ocean became the main topic of the media, which followed the events minute by minute, with their eyes on international organizations trying to save the five crew members.
Did “The Simpsons” predict the disappearance of the submarine Titan? Internet users stir up controversy
It wasn’t long before netizens started bragging about The Simpsons’ ever-puzzling “predictions.” Some fans were quick to recall Season 17 episode 10, titled “Home’s Paternity Coot,” which aired in 2006.
In said episode, Homer and his possible biological father, Mason Fairbanks, go underwater in search of treasure, but Homer becomes trapped on a rock, with no way to communicate with the surface, and suffers an oxygen crisis.
The Simpsons, with their reputation as ‘foretellers’, have left more than one baffled by their ability to ‘predict’ real life events. However, in this case, it seems the similarities are just a fluke.
But that didn’t stop fans of the yellow family, as social networks are flooded with theories and clever jokes about the “curse of the Simpsons”:
Meanwhile, researchers continue to search for answers about the exact causes of the underwater disaster. An explosion is suspected to be responsible, but evidence is still being collected to confirm this theory.
