The obvious answer is someone cut the line and is trying to kill you. You just need to figure out who.
And shouldn't the front brakes still have worked if the blowout was at the rear?
Depends on the car but in my limited experience newer cars have a connected master brake cylinder and if there is a leak in any section, it can't do its work because no pressure. You're showing your age obviously with the separated front and back brakes
Was supposed to have a red softball games and a make-up varsity softball game tonight. Varsity fields were in decent enough shape to play (might have been a little messy). Small storm cell moved through and has been raining for the past hour. 
In laws will be here in about half an hour to watch softball . . .
Hubby still out of town until tomorrow. Bought so much alcohol the kid bagging my groceries asked if I was stocking up or having a party.

We'll be down in about 4 hours.
glad it happened at home and not out on the road!
we took my car in yesterday to get a noise checked and turns out a wheel bearing is going bad. Glad we're getting that taken care of now.
And booo, haven't they heard of mud volleyball????
My 100% uneducated guess. We all know new cars do an entire series of checks when you turn the key on. Is it possible it performs a type of pressure check on the brake system which could have blown out a loose fitting? Thus resulting in the spilled brake fluid and the failure alert.

Well, if you did that more often they wouldn't be so nosy!
Also commonly considered to be the longest day of the year........and it sure seems like it at work today.
Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary. I am making Kung Pao chicken for dinner, afterward there will be dancing. I have bought her some nice jewelry, plus scheduled a ride on the dinner train on the Boone Valley Scenic Railway in October. Hope she's pleased!
@cyrocksmypants Some controversy with the Daily’s sports section and their photo selection of the tennis team. Picture has now been removed.

My new Audi has a dual-circuit brake system with diagonal split across the front/back.
This does have me wondering about the electronic parking brake on my A5 and how that might work if you have a total hydraulic brake system failure. I know the old hand brake and using the clutch for braking could eventually get one of my old Porsches to stop.
PapaLew says depending on the age of your car, and how often you wash the undercarriage, you might want to inspect the other brake line(s) while you're under there...
