[Mgs] Brake failure - What caused it?

Explain how the trap valve, situated in the outlet port of the master, can 
cause the pedal to go to the floor?  Where does the fluid displaced by the 
master piston go?  And why did both circuits apparently do it at exactly the 
same time, then stop doing it at exactly the same time?

I say again, the whole purpose of the dual-circuit master is that if one 
circuit fails, the other will still operate to give some braking.  Most of 
it if it is the rear circuit that has failed, very little of it if it is the 
front circuit.
