The oil is nothing, the dameage it does to the BP brand will cost more than the loss of this much oil.
But the regulators needed to ensure that safety proticols were being followed (they were within 200 miles of the US coast, so they were in US waters), and they should have had this dome structure on the move to the site the next day after they realized it was leaking oil, and before the robots got there. It seems like they put all of the hopes on the robots, and then when those didn't work, then they started moving the dome.
