     Y eso me ha hecho recordar la escena bíblica de Sansón que muere junto con sus enemigos los filisteos, aplastados por las columnas del templo que él hizo derribar.

     And that reminded me of the biblical scene of Samson who dies along with his enemies the Philistines, crushed by the pillars of the temple that he brought down.
