I think most brake lines are made with an inner layer that actually contains the fluid and an outer layer--the one you see. This way the inner can fail and you'll still have brakes but they will feel mushy because the fluid is now pushing only on the outer layer.
THIS CAN FAIL SUDDENLY, so get this looked at NOW.
This happened on my old truck and I was lucky the catastrophic failure happened at walking speed. If one is gone, look the others over carefully, plus all connections. On my truck the right front went and the other was getting close to failing, too. Good luck.
