But when you're talking about the loss of life in the perspective of the human race, then we must use the term "magnitude" as a qualifier.

Not all tragedies are the same and I have to agree with Skybird 100% here. Your analogy makes little sense, considering that we're not talking about the substance from the perspective of an individual. Rather, approaching the situation as a whole, the greater tragedy would be the one with the greater loss.
