Default Blown Brake Line

Just thought i'd share!!! While driving home today, I applied the brake and bam nothing.. Used the e-brake to make it the 10 miles back to the house and found the left front brake flex line was blown... I wish i could put in words what it feels like to apply the brakes and they ain't home.... Here are some pics of the old line...

After you fix that one,(which I've personally had blow out) . Check the one running by the gas tank too. (Which I also have had blow out).

I've had the metal line by the gas tank on a previous vehicle blow out during brake usage. My brakes were never the same.
