The Simpsons eerily predicted sub would go missing in underwater treasure tour

The Simpsons fans were convinced the seminal cartoon has "done it again" and predicted a missing sub running out of oxygen during an underwater tour.

A multinational search has gone into their fourth day of rescue, seeking a Titanic tourist submersible with five people on board, including company boss Stockton Rush.

The minivan-sized "Titan" sub has 96 hours of emergency oxygen and is believed to have only a few hours of breathable air left.

The 2016 episode showed Homer Simpson reuniting with his long lost dad, Mason, and they went on a "treasure excursion" underwater.

In the clip shared on TikTok, Mason announced to the members of a "mothership": "Today I'm 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.

"These waters contain some of Mother Nature's most stunning creatures."

The father-and-son pair went on an individual sub to find a sunken ship.

He said: "Homer, look! The treasure of Piso Mojado [meaning wet floor in English]."

Later in their journey, Homer somehow got lost and mistook a luminous fish as his father.

He followed the fish and got trapped in a coral cave.

Desperately trying to manoeuvre its way out, the control panel flashed a warning sign of "oxygen low".

Homer got panicked when the sign changed to a red sign of "oxygen gone".

He lost consciousness in the sub but luckily he was found and woke up from a coma three days later in a hospital.

Viewers had an "eerie" feeling while watching the resurfaced clip.

One said: "My mind is absolutely blown right now. The Simpsons is so prophetic."

Another wrote: "Not exactly the same but close enough!"

This is not the first time The Simpsons predicted real-life events, including Donald Trump's presidency and the coronavirus pandemic.
