US motorcycle giant Harley-Davidson on August 18, 2016 entered a $15 million settlement with US authorities who accused the company of making and selling illegal devices that increased air pollution from its bikes. The company, the iconic American manufacturer large and loud motorcycles, agreed to buy back and cease selling so-called "super tuners," which improved performance but increased hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions.

French prestigious Ocean Liner Normandie

Undated picture of the French prestigious Ocean Liner Normandie. The Normandie was built in Saint-Nazaire for Compagnie Gnrale Transatlantique and launched 29 October 1932. It was the largest and fastest ship in the world and many considered it the greatest of all ocean liners. In 1942, while being converted to a troopship during World War II, Normandie caught fire, capsized, and sank in New-York harbour. Although she was salvaged at great expense, restoration was deemed too costly, and she was scrapped in October 1946. (Photo by - / AFP)
