Bleeding your brake lines is tricky, take it to a professional. The next stop sign or red light could be your last.

if that ever happens again use your e-brake, and/or downshift.

ya i didn't expect my brakes to NOT be there. . and i was going like 5mph.. but still i was lucky. .
i replaced the metal line that got shocked. . ill take a pic of it later so you can see what i mean. ..
i bleeded my brakes. . . now my brake feels "different"
it feels soft.. but i drove down the street and got on it, and then slammed on my brakes and they worked fine .. and i did it a few times .. but still my brakes feel softer now ..
questions?. . should i bleed my brakes when i have the key in the ignotion and it turn one notch.. so like ABS and that stuff is on. . or should i do it when the car is OFF . .. . (i did it with the car off and i did all four wheels). . .
??

?? If the pedal is soft, you have air in your line. You must remember that the leak was high up in the line, it will take a lot to get the air bubble out. Take it to the shop, don't fool around.

I've seen them use a vacuum pump setup, it sucks the airlock right out.
