What causes a plastic bottle to crush when it is placed in cold water?

OLIVER69:

The air pressure inside the bottle decreased to the point where it was less than the air pressure outside the bottle. Therefore, the air pressure pushing in was greater than the air pressure pushing out, causing the bottle to be crushed!

Nightmoon:

Thank you so much!
