Homer and Mason then go underwater in two submarines and come across a shipwreck in which they discover two treasure chests – the treasure of ‘Pijo Mojado’.
From the 9/11 terrorist attack to the rise of Donald Trump to the US presidency and even the outbreak of a virus-related global pandemic originating in Asia (Covid-19), the popular adult cartoon The Simpsons has over the course of shockingly predicted major world events in his life. 34 years on TV.
And now fans of the show have unearthed a 2006 episode of the show whose events bear an uncanny resemblance to the Titanic submarine missing – a tourist submarine that mysteriously “disappeared” with five passengers on board after diving to find a to take a look at the sunken shipwreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday.
A massive search and rescue operation is currently underway to locate the missing submarine, as it is feared that the oxygen on board is likely to run out today.
As rescuers frantically search for the missing submarine in a desperate attempt to save the passengers on board before they run out of oxygen, The Simpsons seemingly predicted this disaster more than 17 years ago.
On the January 8, 2006 episode of the classic show, Homer Simpson is reunited with his long-lost father Mason Fairbanks, a deep sea treasure hunter. Mason gives a disturbing speech before they go on a deep-sea mission to hunt for lost treasure underwater.
Homer and Mason then go underwater in two submarines and come across a shipwreck in which they discover two treasure chests – the treasure of ‘Pijo Mojado’. An excited Homer radios his friends that they have found the treasure and they are taking it ashore and “straight to the bar” (Moe’s bar).
However, Homer loses track of Mason’s submarine and sees a glowing irradiated fish and as he follows it gets stuck in underwater coral debris. Homer runs out of oxygen and a low oxygen light flashes before he loses consciousness.
