ELI5: The pressure in the marianas trench is 8 tons psi. Does that mean if I used a hammer to crush life from the trench on land, it could resist forces up to 8 tons with no problem?

Lifeforms from the deep sea are not built to withstand that pressure. Instead, their entire bodies are filled with the same structural support: sea water, under the same pressure. This way there's no significant forces from the pressure acting upon their bodies, as it all cancels out.
