Both 92's had brake failure today

It'd strange how things go!
I got in my Ebony '92 at 6:10 pm to drive home from work. When I pressed the brake to shift into drive the pedal felt mushy.
I installed new calipers, rotors, pads and SS brake lines last summer.
A few minutes later the brake light came on and I stopped and pumped the brakes a few times. Fluid was leaking near the left rear wheel, hopefully just a loose banjo bolt.
30 minutes later my daughter sent me a text to say her pedal had gone to the floor on her '92 Claret and she almost rear ended someone. Fluid was leaking from the line that goes from the drivers side to the passenger side rear brake right in the middle.
My truck is sidelined with a broken frame and her Outback has a major coolant and exhaust leak. Of our 6 vehicles only 1 is useable, my wife's '06 Pontiac Vibe. The '97 SVX is still parked unlicensed waiting for spring.
