Syrian Transport Minister Tests Damascus Airport Road With Cup of Water

Syrian Transport Minister Yarub Badr used a cup of water to check the surface of the road serving Damascus International Airport during a field inspection.

Badr placed the cup on the dashboard of a car and drove the vehicle himself, using the water as a simple indicator of how evenly the road had been paved.

The test was intended to assess the smoothness of the road surface and the quality of the work carried out along the route.

The account did not specify how the water behaved during the drive or provide a final assessment of the roadworks.
