i suggest looking at vaccum. you may have lost the brake booster or a vaccum source.

If it ran dry, I'd be concerned the master cylinder went out. if it was vaccum, i'd think the pedal would be hard as a rock.

Brake Pressure

If she is full of fluid and the pedal goes to the floor when braking, I would suspect the master cylinder.

I would have to blame it on a external master cylinder leak. I thought when it had internal issues the pedal will drop slow. Are you sure you didnt break a brake line? Happened to me a few weeks on the highway.
