I'm looking for a number, since you're being definitive on one quantity vs. another. Obviously there is no such number. It's hypothetical.
That said, I think we can agree that it was the biggest single attack on a civilian population in the entire history of human civilization. And why do we hate terrorists? Oh yeah, because they're willing to blow up non-combatant citizens. You can't make the argument for one and not the other. It just doesn't exist. The only differentiator is scale.
