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.

Ask David Blane to come round and pop his hand through the glass. Make sure to have some old newspaper handy first.

This isn't a hardware problem it's a software problem. Please contact the software vendor.

You need a diamond tip glass cutter, to cut a hole in one of the top panes so then you can access the plates. The only issue you would need to replace the window pane or the entire cupboard door after. So it really depends on how precious are the plates and bowls.

Turn on the ceiling light and open any draperies. This allows the Fire Department to check rooms from the outside for smoke. Lights that are not on or not functioning also indicate a problem in that area.

Open the door slightly, stick your hand through the small crack and hold the bowls while slowly pushing them back and opening the door.

How did that even happen? If there is a second door, which I can't tell if there is, simply push this one hard against the cupboard, so it does not open, and take them one by one. If there is no possible way of tilting the cupboard, then breaking the furthers rectangle glass would be your best option, if the plates are more expensive than the glass, that is.

Open the left cupboard and cut a hole in the wood separating the cabinets. Then reach in and fix the plates. When you're done, you could just glue the wood back in place.

Look through the glass and use your mind to move the plates back into a stack. Done! No reason to open the door. If anyone says it didn't work...ignore them. They don't understand magic.

Cut a hole in the backside of the cabinet if it is a wall. Holes in walls are easily repaired.
