At this point, it's easier to point out what "The Simpsons" HASN'T predicted. Because fans think they covered this whole Titanic submersible thing all the way back in 2006. In the Season 17 episode "Homer's Paternity Coot", Homer and his long-lost dad go treasure hunting in mini-submarines, and find the wreckage of a sunken ship. But Homer's submersible gets stuck in a reef, and his air quickly runs out. Homer survives his ordeal, obviously. (Sadly, the five people onboard the OceanGate Titan were not so lucky.)
