Could air and water crunch a can?

Sure. It's the air pressure, and it works like this;

Get a gallon can with a lid and make sure it's clean and empty.

Put about a half inch of water in the bottom and place the open can on a stove.

Let the water boil for a minute, or so, to push the air out (replacing it with steam).

Remove the can and after a few seconds (when the water has stopped boiling) put the lid on tightly.

Watch the can for a few minutes and it will crumple as the steam condenses and forms a partial vacuum.
