Here's a demonstration of what happens to a depressurized tanker at ordinary sea level pressure. What would happen on the space station in a total vacuum?

Actually the Mythbusters had a fair bit of trouble re-creating that... They had to first cause a bit of structural damage to the tanker car to get it to fail and implode when they pulled a vacuum on it.

Furthermore, the pressure vessels of ISS are not tanker cars, they are designed to withstand the pressure difference.
