If a chamber can hold 100+ psi on the inside, then surely it can handle it from the outside.


Not so...
An experiment I did as a school kid (many, many moons ago) was to boil a small amount of water in a tin can over a flame. The lid of the can was then put on and as the water and air in the can cooled the internal pressure reduced, resulting in the atmospheric air pressure on the outside crushing the can.


Yes... But such a can would have failed with very little internal pressure as well.
