Is it true that a vacuum can implode a metal tank due to pressure differentials?

The claim that a vacuum can implode a metal tank due to pressure differentials is a matter of basic physics involving external pressure exceeding internal structural resistance; no citation is needed.

The analysis

The claim describes a standard mechanical phenomenon (external atmospheric pressure crushing a vessel when internal pressure is removed or reduced). While papers discuss structural collapse and pressure vessels, the fundamental premise is a matter of everyday physical observation and engineering first principles.
