'Simpsons' Producer Mike Reiss Shares Technical Challenges on Titanic Sub Trip

Mike Reiss, executive producer of "The Simpsons," has spoken about his past voyages with OceanGate, including one to the site of the Titanic ship wreckage. Reiss said all four of his OceanGate trips had communication issues, but he doesn't blame the company. He also expects more catastrophic tourist incidents to happen, especially as voyages to space become more common. Reiss hopes the incident doesn't halt the exploration offered by OceanGate and similar companies.

The Simpsons' eerie prediction of the missing Titanic submarine.

A Simpsons fan has pointed out the connection between the show and the missing Titan submersible, which was intended to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. Former Simpsons showrunner Mike Reiss rode the same submersible last year and produced the last episode involving a damaged submarine. Reiss spoke about his experiences on the submersible, saying that it's a beautifully designed craft, but the nature of the expedition makes problems possible. The submersible has been missing with five people on board in the Atlantic Ocean since Sunday.

'Simpsons' Writer Mike Reiss Shares Harrowing Experience on Missing Titanic Submarine

Mike Reiss, a former showrunner on The Simpsons, has expressed doubt about the rescue of the missing submarine, Titan, which he has taken several trips on. The submersible has been missing since June 18 in the North Atlantic, with five people on board. Reiss has gone on three different dives with OceanGate Expeditions, the company which owns Titan, and that they “almost always lost communication”. The Titan is expected to run out of its emergency oxygen supply around 10:30 AM GMT on Thursday.
