The writer of ‘The Simpsons’ talks about his experience traveling on the submarine Titan

During the month of June the world was shocked by the tragedy of the Titan submarine, a tourist vessel that sank off the coast of Canada to explore the remains of the Titanic, tragically the crew of this vehicle had a fatal fate, something that for many fans of ‘The Simpsons’, the animated series expected 17 years ago, and the author of this episode gave an interview in which he stressed that at one point he took part in the explorations of this tourist submarine.

It was an interview in 2022 where the screenwriter of ‘The Simpsons’, Mike Reiss, revealed that he participated in one of the expeditions of the Titan submarineindicating that, when taking this trip, the OceanGate company was learning while doing these expeditions, thus this writer rated this experience negatively.

There is no doubt that the writer’s comments ‘The Simpsons’ in the middle of TMZ will surprise many, especially since it reveals that this submarine seemed to have problems, elements that are precisely shown in the aforementioned chapter of this animated series that predicted the tragedy of this ship.

There are problems with the ship, it’s learning as they use it, just like the early space programs,” the actor said.

It is curious that the screenwriter of ‘The Simpsons’ who wrote the episode that supposedly predicts the tragedy of the Titanhad the experience of traveling on this ship in the depths of the ocean, a chapter that has caused great surprise in many fans for the similarities it shows with what happened in real life.

The episode of “The Simpsons” that predicts the Titan submarine

It was through social networks as thousands of fans shared that the Episode 10 of season 17 of ‘The Simpsons’ has similarities to the tragedy of the submarine Titan, a chapter in which the audience can see nothing but Homer, lost aboard one of these water vehicles, which bears similarities to the missing ship.

Also, another similarity is that, like the Titan submarine tourists who were trying to explore the Titanic, in this chapter of “The Simpsons”, Homer dives into this ship to look for the treasure of a sunken ship in the bottom of the sea, and it is in the middle of this journey that the vehicle on which the protagonist of that animated series travels begins to show defects.

The chapter entitled “Homer’s father”. presents how the ship on which the firstborn of “The Simpsons” travels begins to alert “lack of oxygen”, which for fans is very similar to the concern that existed in recent days regarding the real-life submarine, since for days the world was aware of the amount of oxygen the passengers of the Titan vehicle had. Unfortunately, the similarities between the real case of the Titan submarine and the chapter of ‘The Simpsons’ end with the conclusion that the animated series shows.
