Is there any reason to watch the rest of the episode or was it just 39 minutes of lead-up to this?

If you want to see them do the scale up to this, and then see how well built these tankers really are, then it's worth the watch.

Otherwise, watch the last ten minutes.

For the record, I love Mythbusters and have watched since the first season.

At what point will a steel tanker implode on itself due to a substantial pressure differential among outside forces.

It can be done reliably on a smaller scale at home by boiling water in a metal container, sealing it, and dousing it in a metal container.

The myth itself was if it's possible for tankers to do this though.

Isn't this what they do at, say, Starbucks, when they shoot steam inside an empty milk jug to collapse it?

You can also do it in an even smaller scale at home by taking a regular drinking can, emptying it, and then holding it upside-down above boiling water to fill it up with steam (hold it with tongs or something rather than by hand). Then, still holding it with the opening pointing down, swiftly dunk it into cold water. It should implode pretty energetically more or less the moment it touches the surface.

You can use the same principle in reverse to reinflate crushed ping pong balls.
