Why does a bottle of spring water get crushed when you put the lid on an empty bottle tightly?

The plastic bottle (which is a blight on our planet and should not be bought and tossed away lightly) is made of very thin plastic. As thinly as possible to make it inexpensive to manufacture (so that it can be bought and tossed away thoughtlessly to fill landfills). A small drop in temperature, after the lid is on, will mean that the pressure in the bottle is less than the outside pressure so the bottle implodes. Try drinking the contents of a bottle of water, put the lid on and put it in the freezer. Observe what happens.

Why would a tightly closed empty water bottle crush itself?
This answer presumes that "empty" means the bottle has no water in it, but does have air in it.In this case the bottle would collapse (or partly collapse) if the temperature inside the bottle dropped to a lower temperature causing the air inside to shrink, or if the bottle was taken to a place of higher air pressure (such as taking the bottle from a mountain peak to the base of the mountain.The bottle would also collapse at some point of evacuation if "empty" means the bottle was evacuated of water and air. The point of collapse, in this case, would depend on the physical construction of the bottle - ie, whether it was made of steel, plastic or glass
