This is a good demonstration of why a 55 gallon drum is not a good starting point for a home made 1-atm submarine, unless you want to make custom "form fitting" knight's armor. LOL

COMMON SENCE ITS REAL. Do to the heat that exites the OXYGEN's particles it kicks mos of the air particles out leaving very few particles compare to the atmosphere. therefore when it cools down atmospheric pressure neutrulisez the pressure within the barrel by crushing it.

I don't think it really happened. It looks to real to be real.

What a waste. These barrels are getting hard to come by these days as the plastic ones become ever more popular.

if it's the fun of crushing you like so much do it to pop cans lol
