American tourists are being warned to exercise caution in a Latin American country, with a “do not travel” warning issued for one of its provinces.
The State Department on April 28 updated its Level 2 travel advisory for Bolivia, urging Americans to “exercise increased caution.”

Americans visiting Bolivia are urged to stay vigilant.
The advisory added, “The U.S. government has limited ability to offer emergency services to U.S. citizens in Chapare Province.”
Americans visiting Bolivia are urged to stay vigilant, avoid crowds and follow local updates, as well as to travel with insurance and emergency plans.

Brad Scott given key metrics on which to improve as Bombers coach ‘hangs by a thread’
Essendon coach Brad Scott is in a fight for his job.
The Bombers have laid out a specific set of metrics on which Scott must show improvement for him to see out his contract, which expires at the end of next year.
There are two main categories Essendon directors are monitoring to help them decide whether Scott remains the man to take them forward, as revealed by Tom Morris on Wednesday night’s edition of The Agenda Setters.

One centres around player development.
“Essentially, how many players have improved and by how much,” as put by Morris.
The second metric is based on defence, and more specifically team defence. Pressure acts, scores against and inside 50s against are all key performance indicators that will contribute to Scott’s future.
“Brad Scott’s future, in my view, hangs by a thread if he can’t improve these numbers,” Morris said.
St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt noted the abnormality of using a specific set of in-game statistics to determine a coach’s job.
“Typically for a coach, any coach, their future is decided by wins and losses, so that’s different,” Riewoldt said.
“Who came up with the metrics and why is a shift away from a typical wins-loss type scenario?”
Morris said it’s because the board is trying to take a more holistic approach.
“I think there’s a bit of an understanding that wins and losses are a bit unfair because they’re so young, so they need to dig deeper,” he said.
“How is this team defending? It’s understanding that premiership teams are built from defence.
“And the other element is, I think wins and losses don’t tell the full story sometimes. And I think if you dig deeper, these numbers actually tell us where Essendon is at when it comes to key metrics; that’s inside 50s against, opposition scores from centre bounce, and centre clearance against.
“And those numbers paint a bleak picture, and there’s only one conclusion that I can draw from that: if Brad Scott doesn’t improve then his job is very much on the line this year.
“The board are the people who control Brad Scott’s job.”
Essendon are 18th in the competition for inside 50s against, 18th for opposition defensive half chains to score, 18th for opposition defensive 50 chains to score, 18th for centre clearances against, and 17th for scores against from centre stoppages.
“These are pretty granular metrics,” Riewoldt said.
“It’s easy for a board to sit there and say it’s win-loss. But we’re getting right down into the weeds there — that’s pretty detailed.
“The other question is: what’s the threshold? Do you need to finish 15th in some of those numbers?”
Essendon’s board includes former players Ted Richards and Andrew Walsh, who is the president, and was seen to be the key driver behind denying Zach Merrett’s trade request last year.
“Andrew Welsh has proven to be someone that can make hard decisions at the right time,” Morris said.
Seven’s chief footy reporter Mitch Cleary noted questioned why Scott would be under so much pressure when the board knew the implications of their draft strategy in recent years.
“And was this not part of the decision to re-sign Brad Scott last year?” Cleary said.
“He had a contract originally to 2026, they extended that until 2027 knowing that they were coming into a period where they were going to be one of the youngest groups in the competition.
“Right now they’re 16th in the AFL for age. For me, it feels like this is where it comes down to, as opposed to the win-loss.”

Frontier Airlines forecasts revenue boost from Spirit collapse

Frontier Airlines expects a revenue boost from Spirit Airlines’ collapse over the weekend, a shuttering that removed Spirit’s capacity from the market overnight.
“Drawing on the benefits realized from prior Spirit capacity adjustments, we believe their exit supports a [revenue per available seat mile] uplift of 3% to 5% going forward,” Frontier’s chief commercial officer, Bobby Schroeter, said on an earnings call Tuesday.
Just before Spirit ceased operations, marking the biggest U.S. airline collapse in a generation, the budget airline had 35% overlap with Frontier’s seats and 31% with JetBlue Airways‘ seats in the market, according to an analysis published Sunday by Raymond James analyst Savanthi Syth.
Frontier shares were up more than 6% in afternoon trading after it released first-quarter results, outpacing the broader market.
Frontier said it expects unit revenue to rise more than 20% in the second quarter, citing strong demand and less competition on its routes. It expects adjusted losses per share of between 45 cents and 60 cents.
Frontier was Spirit’s planned merger partner four years ago before JetBlue swooped in with an all-cash offer in a deal that was eventually blocked by a U.S. judge in 2024.
In Spirit’s final months, airlines had been adding flights on its routes or crafting expansion plans behind the scenes. JetBlue, for example, said it would add a host of service at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida, Spirit’s former home hub.
The jet fuel crisis is ‘a slow motion car crash’, says Kpler’s Matt Smith

Underwater robotics expert reveals ‘shipwreck city’ hiding beneath major urban lake
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An underwater robotics specialist is revealing a “shipwreck city” hiding beneath a lake in a major West Coast hub — and much of it remains a mystery.
Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) specialist Phil Parisi is working to verify and document nearly 100 “targets” in Lake Union, a central lake in Seattle, Washington.
The urban lake has served as a working waterway for over a century, supporting shipbuilding and vessel traffic in the Emerald City.
WISCONSIN RESEARCHERS STUNNED BY DISCOVERY OF LAKE MICHIGAN ‘GHOST SHIP’ LOST SINCE 1886 STORM
The expert told KING 5 that about half of those sites, which were previously mapped but not visually confirmed, are believed to be shipwrecks — and not all of them have been explored by divers.
To bridge that gap, Parisi uses ROVs to document targets identified in sonar surveys.
Phil Parisi, seen at right in the foreground, is using remotely operated vehicles to investigate underwater targets in Lake Union, aiming to confirm which sites are shipwrecks and better understand the lake’s maritime history. (shipwreckcity.org)
“We need to document what these wrecks look like today,” Parisi told KING 5.
He described deeper portions of the lake as a “ghost town,” where plant life drops off beyond about 25 feet.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER CENTURIES-OLD SHIPWRECK BENEATH HISTORIC CITY: ‘UNIQUE SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE’
“There is a harsh lack of life,” Parisi said.
But what the lake lacks in marine life, he said, it makes up for in wreckage.
Nearly half of the mapped targets in Lake Union are believed to be shipwrecks, though many have not yet been visually confirmed or explored by divers. (shipwreckcity.org)
“It’s crazy that there’s so much down there,” he added, according to KING 5. “It’s shocking to me. I was stunned. Looking at these maps — it’s shipwreck city.”
Parisi told Fox News Digital that, while roughly 40 sites have already been documented, dozens more identified in sonar surveys have yet to be visually confirmed — work he is now taking on.
MAN FISHING WITH GRANDSON UNCOVERS MYSTERY WRECKAGE IN MUD FLATS, ARCHAEOLOGISTS INVESTIGATING
Parisi and his team use GPS to get close to targets, then rely on sonar to locate them in low-visibility waters.
“Flying blind through murky, low-visibility waters is difficult, so we rely on ROV-mounted sonars to ‘see’ and determine the target’s relative position,” he said.
“Many wrecks are tucked underneath, and some marina owners are reluctant to let us film beneath their docks.”
“Then, we descend to the bottom and fly toward the sonar signature until the target appears on the live ROV camera.”
Because of pollution in Lake Union, Parisi said his team relies on ROVs rather than scuba divers.

“It’s nice not having to worry about contaminants,” he said.
But they still face challenges, particularly with Seattle’s piers lining the lake.
Identifying details on submerged vessels are often obscured by biofouling, rust and environmental degradation, making documentation difficult. (shipwreckcity.org)
“Many wrecks are tucked underneath, and some marina owners are reluctant to let us film beneath their docks,” he said.
“Additionally, when we do arrive at a wreck, gathering identifying information can be extremely difficult. Biofouling, rust, poor public anchoring techniques and other environmental degradation often shed registration stickers, obscure painted hull names, and cause wrecks to collapse.”

Asked about describing the lake as a “shipwreck city,” Parisi said two things stand out about the underwater sites: the shallowness of Lake Union and the large number of “unknown” targets that remain.
“The lake is surprisingly shallow compared to other bodies of water in the Puget Sound, meaning lake goers are a stone’s throw from the sunken maritime history yet are often unaware,” said Parisi.
“Every place holds incredible landmarks and hidden treasures, yet we’re often distracted by the humdrum of life.”
“Secondly, documentation or footage is missing for over half of the nearly 100 targets in the lake, leaving a huge gap in our understanding of what’s down there.”
Parisi said the work isn’t a new discovery, but builds on earlier sonar surveys and dive records that mapped the sites.

He also stressed the importance of local exploration, saying he wants Americans “to be excited about what’s in their own backyard.”
“We need to document what these wrecks look like today,” Parisi said, describing the ongoing effort to capture current conditions of submerged vessels. (shipwreckcity.org)
“Every place holds incredible landmarks and hidden treasures, yet we’re often distracted by the humdrum of life,” said Parisi.
