And that is with brand new seals and O-rings in place.
Challenger failed in '86 due to bad O-rings.

On the solid fuel booster joint, not on the external tank which contained the LH2 and LO2.

Challenger failed because the idiot NASA management launched when the engineers told them that the O-Rings were not rated for the temperature on launch day. Blaming it on the O-rings is like blaming your car’s manufacturer for your car breaking down when you put water in the tank instead of fuel.
