Drop whatever you're doing, we have a situation in here! A stay-at-home mother has posted a picture of the 'impossible to open' cupboard and she needs your tips to open it without destroying these precious porcelain plates.
'A cupboard that can never be opened,' - read the caption. Of course, you can never throw words like 'never' online because soon after posting, the army of kind-hearted internauts came pouring in (16,000 reactions and 456 comments) to help this lady with getting her plates to safety.
What would you do in this situation? Post your answers below!
Update: The photo was actually taken after an earthquake in the Tottori Prefecture on October 21st, in a hotel owned by the Kishida family.

It is a sliding door. Just slide the door slowly and grab the falling plates. You just need a few extra hands.

Take hinges off cabinet. Once removed slowly and without moving any further away from
Cabinet shelves move the cabinet door up will
Probably need to tilt as moved up to plates so this until all plates are back on shelf. And not going to fall.
Or remove one glass window if it's not one whole
Peice of glass.

Find the anti-gravity switch at the side of the cabinet and turn it off. The plates will now be floating about randomly. Remove them to a safe place and turn the switch back on. Too easy!

Stiff newspaper though a crack in the door to fill bottom shelf..until packed. Attach fabric with duct tape to bottom of cupboard door and cabinet (allow 3 inches slack) to catch what your hand cant and the newspaper cant cushion when you open the door enough to insert your hand

Just start irrelevant arguments with it for years then cheat on it ! After that you blame your actions on the plates . Isn't that how you women fix a marriage?
