Well, it appears the show has once again captivated people on the internet, as a previous episode aired in 2006 seemed to have predicted the tragic fate of the disappeared Titan submersible. For those still in the dark about the whole ordeal, the Titan Sub was on an expedition to view the wreckage of the HMS Titanic. However, the sub lost all contact with the surface and ran low on oxygen. The sub has now gone missing with 5 passengers onboard.
As for 'The Simpsons' episode that saw it all go downhill 17 years ago in the show¡¯s 17th season, the creator admits it was a storyline inspired by the film ¡®Crimson Tide¡¯.
In the 10th episode of the season, titled ¡°Simpsons Tids,¡± Homer goes on an expedition underwater with a man who he believes is his biological father. The man, named Mason Fairbanks, is a treasure hunter and takes Homer on his ship to retrieve the lost treasure of ¡°Piso Mojado.¡±

The father and son explore the depths of the sea in submersibles and find the treasure. However, on his way back up, Homer gets stuck in a coral cave. His transport then informs him that he is out of oxygen, and he proceeds to lose consciousness as the oxygen levels fall dangerously low. Homer wakes up in the hospital three days later.

Although it is quite obvious that the storyline has little to do with the tragedy of the missing Titan sub, the internet believes some parts of the episode are eerily similar to the fate of the sub.
Veteran show producer Mike Reiss did not agree with the internet theories and debunked them in an interview with The New York Post. He admitted, "We didn¡¯t predict the future; we just did it off that movie, and 20 years later, something like that happened."
What is even more fascinating is that Reiss himself was onboard the same vessel to see the wreckage of the Titanic last July.
