''We tried to reach out to the man who died in this pursuit, they were unavailable for comment.''
One of the best things about live TV reporting is stuff ups.
No matter how many of them you see, you still can't get enough and this latest one from US journalist Sara Welch is pristine.
Sara was reporting live for Los Angeles news channel KLTA on a fatal pursuit in South California when she had an unfortunate slip of the tongue.
Reporting live on TV from Anaheim police station, Welch told audiences that she tried to contact a man who was killed during the incident. She said:
''We tried to reach out to the man who died in this pursuit, they were unavailable for comment.''

The footage was shared on Twitter by journalist Yasher Ali yesterday, and quickly went viral racking up 2.5 million views and counting.
Despite the blooper, according KLTA’s website, Welch is an esteemed reporter who even received an Emmy nomination for her work.
We all make mistakes!
