In this April 16, 2014 photo taken with a mobile phone by deceased South Korean high school student Park Su-hyeon and released by his father Park Jong-dae, students are shown inside the sinking ferry Sewol on waters near Jindo, South Korea. Soon after the ferry begins to tilt, nervous laughter can be heard from the high school students huddled below deck. In video clips from the cellphone of Park Su-hyeon, a victim of the disaster that has shaken South Korea, the teenagers talk of taking selfies, wonder if they'll make the news and discuss posting about the excitement later on Facebook.

FILE - This March 13, 2014 file photo shows Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Obama administration is sending a four-year, $302 transportation plan to Congress, hoping to jump-start a national debate on how to repair and replace the nation's aging infrastructure and accommodate the needs of a growing population. Foxx said Tuesday that action is urgently needed because the federal Highway Trust Fund is expected to run dry by late August. He said that unless Congress acts to shore up the fund, transportation aid to states will be held up and workers laid off construction sites across the country. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)

Passengers flying Frontier Airlines will now have to pay extra to place carry-on bags in overhead bins or for advance seat assignments. The move comes as the Denver-based airline transforms itself into a fee-dependent airline, similar to Spirit Airlines or Allegiant Air _ the only other U.S. carriers to charge such fees.
