The Simpsons is one of the most important animated television series in all of history. In its 34 years on the air, it stood out for its criticism of contemporary society and also for its predictions of historical events. Among them the implosion of the submarine that was traveling to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to visit the ruins of the Titanic.
Last week, the United States Coast Guard reported that a submarine craft had found debris from the submarine near the wreckage of the Titanic during days of intense searches to rescue the five people on board.
Minutes later, the expedition company, OceanGate, confirmed the death of the 5 crew members. The “Titan” was airborne for about four days when she set sail around 6:00 a.m. Sunday in the North Atlantic.
Missing submarine: what happens in the episode of The Simpsons
In chapter 366 belonging to the 17th season of the successful series of Matt Groening, Homer had decided to travel with a group of businessmen to look for a treasure at the bottom of the ocean. When he arrived, he found the remains of a ship that had been wrecked years ago but upon approaching, his ship was trapped and in danger of running out of oxygen.
Although from the United States Coast Guard they assured that the submersible imploded before the oxygen ran out, one of the theories most pointed out by researchers was that the same thing had happened with the Titan. That is, when they found the Titanic, they were trapped in the rubble and could not activate the emergency mechanism to reach the surface.
Other Simpsons predictions
For some reason, the program touched on several of the issues that agitate society up close or on the side. They did it, for example, with the attack on the twin towers in 2001, with Germany’s victory in the 2014 World Cup, with Donald Trump as President of the United States, with the injury of Neymar in the world cup. It also anticipates the pandemic (by Ebola) and the appearance of a three-eyed fish. And the list can go on.
