They had burned through the o- rings on the SRB’s multiple times prior to that time. The only reason they didn’t have a catastrophe prior was because the cutting torch was never aimed at the LOX tank. They knew it would happen eventually but wanted to launch for the teacher.
Absolutely criminal.

They knew it would happen eventually but wanted to launch for the teacher. State of the Union Address was scheduled for that evening.
They desperately wanted Reagan to be able to point up and talk about our brave men and women in space.
I hope Ronaldus Magnus never made that connection, it would have horrified him beyond anything.
