F = p*A.
The pressure difference within a vacuum is never more than 1 bar (about the same as diving 10m deep), but it’s the massive surface area that results in such tremendous force. And yes, I have heard first hand stories of similar damage because some small vac valve got stuck closed.
Patrick Hughes , I’ve seen it before.  Never tire of seeing it though.  Vacuum implosions are fun to watch.  The rapidity of it is incredible though.

That shit happened fast,whoa!

Exactly, Lars Fosdal! đ
whoa vad fan hände där? Det kan väl inte spontanuppstü ett vacum

“That must be something.”
a vaccum did that
