Possibly Bob. But at the time, the only issue found by a Meineke shop was the ruptured line due to corrosion at a line hanger, granted they may not have carefully checked everything else out. As for the extra pedal pump, 3 or 4 frantic attempts were made before going to the handbrake equally frantically. After stopping and trying to compose myself, several more pumps did bring some pedal back --- enough along with the handbrake to feel safe and composed enough to limp along to the shop.
