Those tankers are steam cleaned from the inside. If some moron closes them while the steam is still hot it condeses in the inside thus the outside pressure is higher and the tanker collapses.

#1 Inches of Mercury is a unit of measurement for pressure, it's about 11.3 PSI.

Also they were not able to implode one of these tankers even under a FULL vacuum. Only after they put a dent in the tanker by droping a concrete block onto it. (mythbusters s16e02)

#2 Actually it was proven on the show that it is near impossible that one of these things implode. It requires it to have a big dent somewhere(like when they dropped a block of concrete on the tank). They tried it with two tanks, near vacuum inside and they didn't budge. They're obviously very well built for that not to happen in the first place.

Amazing how much air weights around sea level, able to crush that tank. Normal to us, we dont even pay attention to it, but physics do. 8-)

#5 There are so many measurements of atmospheric pressure, which one, I wonder, is the most used one..
