The Simpsons eerily predicted Titanic submarine 17 years ago in chilling episode
Over the years, The Simpsons has made several eerily accurate predictions from Donald Trump's shock presidency, to the 9/11 tragedy.
However, possibly the most eerie prediction yet has to be the missing Titanic submarine which has been the topic of headlines in recent days as five passengers on board the tourist submarine are set to run out of oxygen today.
A massive search and rescue operation is currently underway in the mid Atlantic after the tourist submarine went missing during a dive to the sunken Titanic shipwreck on Sunday.
Contact with the small submarine was lost about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive, and the passengers only have oxygen until today at 11am, after which it will run out.

While the tragic situation has shocked millions of people across the globe in recent days, it seems as though The Simpsons predicted it back in 2006.
In the classic episode of the long-running TV series, Homer Simpson's long-lost father Mason Fairbanks, who discovers treasures from the sea, gives a chilling speech about their underwater mission before they set off on their expedition.
"Today I am filled with joy. Searching for treasure with my long-lost son. My dream for each of you is that you find the happiness I feel today," he says.
Homer and his long lost father then set out on their underwater mission in the deep ocean in a singular submarine.
The father-son duo then come across a shipwrecked boat, and find two boxes filled to the brim with treasure.
Thrilled about their treasure find, Homer channelled home to his friends and said: "Hey guys. We found the treasure. When I get to shore, I'm bringing it right to the bar."

It was good news for Homer however, as at the end of the episode, the father-of-three woke up in the hospital after being in a coma for three days, surrounded by his wife Marge and three kids, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.
After the episode has resurfaced in recent days, many Simpsons fans have now insisted the writers of the hit show have once again predicted the current ongoing investigation to find the missing submarine and its five passengers.
"Simpsons was the first time in history a submarine sinking was shown in media. This isn't a coincidence," one tweeted.

"I do not know what surprises them of the lost submarine in the Atlantic that went down to see the remains of the Titanic, the Simpsons had already warned us," another echoed.
While a third added: "Crazy how the Simpsons already predicted about the missing submarine."

Even accurate details of the global coronavirus pandemic were predicted by Simpsons creator Matt Groening and the team 27 years ago - when a deadly virus came over to Springfield from Asia.
Claims that the people working on The Simpsons can see into the future have been dismissed by some, with one writer claiming it's mainly coincidence because the episodes are so old that history repeats itself.
But that hasn't stopped viewers fearing that some other worrying predictions they have made are still yet to come true.
