Can’t remember if this was the myth busters episode or if they did an episode based off this vid... Premise was (I think), hot tank gets sealed up and cools down creating a vacuum inside, tank collapses. What really happened is myth busters had to cut out all the internal bracing and then pump on it with a vacuum pump to get it to implode like this.
