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\u2019d be President of the United States, and the Rolling Stones still being on tour after 50 years have all come up. It\u2019s the \u2018Simpsons Did It\u2019 phenomenon that has even gotten its own South Park episode to boot. If something happens in real life, there is typically an old Simpsons episode to relate it to. As the situation with OceanGate\u2019s Titan submersible has been unfolding, leaving five people lost at sea during a trek to view the Titanic\u2019s shipwreck, some fans have pointed to The Simpsons, once again, sort of predicting it. Simpsons fans are sure it predicted OceanGate Titan situation There are two episodes that fans have suggested are \u2018predictions\u2019 for the OceanGate situation, one being Simpsons Tide and another in the form of Homer\u2019s Paternity Coot. Simpsons Tide is a classic episode, putting Homer in charge of a navy submarine. So, it is slightly different from what\u2019s happening with the Titan. However, in Homer\u2019s 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. \u201cIt all comes back to The Simpsons,\u201d said one fan of the iconic show. \u201cI\u2019m now convinced that The Simpsons writer is a time traveler,\u201d added another. \u201cNo longer watching the news since clearly, The Simpsons is more informative,\u201d commented another. 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Simpsons fans convinced show predicted OceanGate situation years ago 20 Century FoxFans of The Simpsons are sure that the show somewhat predicted the situation that has been unfolding with OceanGate\u2019s Titan submersible on its voyage to take people to the Titanic.
