I thought the accident happened because the O-Rings weren’t rated for the weather and that in the month prior to the launch the O-Ring was re-engineered to remove the offending chemical compound in the ring.

Maybe the O-rings were just part of the story and the rest was held back. Chuck Yeager’s a credible guy.

The offending compound was asbestos, I believe.

My understanding is that the "offending chemical compound" in the original O-rings was Asbestos.
It was a bunch of insane lunacy for the nation to hyperventilate about Asbestos during this period.
