9-5 Aero : brakes fail suddenly!

Coming home in city traffic tonight, guy wearing dark clothing walks across one of those pedestrian crosswalks, wearing all dark clothing and ear buds. Luckily, I have a habit of checking these crosswalks very carefully when it’s dark, and hit the brakes, doing under 30mph. Slowed a bit, then pedal to the floor - no warning, no icons lit. Downshifted quickly into 2nd, then 1st, got the last 2 miles home w. 4-way flashers and 1st gear. At 156k on the odo, I’m guessing brake booster failure - a pretty expensive repair for a 2001 Saab. Have to have it towed in next week. Any possibility it’s NOT the booster itself ? No obvious hydraulic leaks.
