KBS I did a similar thing with a 800 gal honey wagon. All I can tell you is it was loud and it's an instant thing when it happens.

We were doing a rebuild on the nursery building and had cleaned all the solids out of the shallow pit inside the building. The shallow pits on that building fed into a deep storage pit that's about 16 feet deep. Any how I was sucking up the last load out of that pit and was thinking that it was taking too long to load. I had hopped off the tractor and walked back to the pit opening to check what was happening. About the time I got right beside the tank, my hand was on the tire even, it collapsed and scared the crap out of me! In hindsight the pressure/vacum guage wasn't working and trying to suck up the thicker manure was the cause of my soiled shorts. We never pulled more than 15"Hg on the guage. I checked the guage later with an automotive vacum pump and it maxed out at 10" when I actually had 25" on it.
Thinking back on when it colapsed. The tank caving in was instant, I was actually looking at it when it happened. It went from fine to caved in so fast I couldn't see it happen. The noise would probably be similar to a standing next a 105mm howitzer. An experience I hope to never see agian. I did repair that turd hearse by cutting out the top and welding a new piece of 1/4" steel that we had rolled into the top half of the tank. That was 20 years ago and a neighbor is still using it.
