Bronze Turbo Integra: This what happens when your brakes go out...SAD...
Welp going about 50-60 mph and my brakes decided to go out on me...abs light came on, and i couldnt stop...the road was ending and an office brick building was at the end of the street waiting for me...all happened with in 3-5 seconds... i dont know why...but somehow air got inside my lines...end result...pictures speak for itself...
Sucks too, cuz i just got the dam thing to run under a month ago...
I walked away with no scractches or injuries...im really lucky and blessed...
advice for everyone bleed the **** outta ur brakes and bleed them again! double check for leaks....and bleed bleed bleed...

Ugh! Don't give up on it! I've been watching your build for quite some time now, just never really said anything. Such a clean car. 
My car got wrecked, and my setup went into a hatch. Let me just tell you from experience, that you will be so much happier with it the 2nd time around.

Damn that is shitty man. I know all about the reaction time. It's times like that when you question whether or not it's really happening. I had a hit/run accident that came out of no where, and it felt like I was in a dream.

Really?!
So where are the skidmarks down the sidewalk and through the grass? When you're on the brakes trying to avoid a brick wall, you lock things up. ABS or not, you're going to make some nice gouging marks in the grass at the very least.
You fail. There are none, there is obvious evidence that there was NO braking.
**** off.

Very nice observation, I didn't even think of that. Eightvalver, you lose.

yep...couldnt even make a mark or skid...the police officers traced it back as far as 100 yards...they could not find any marks or signs of braking...
Dur! the brakes didnt work!

At this point I'd be more concerned about insurance paying for the hole in the building. Good to hear no one was hurt though.
