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.

Go back in time, watch parents get killed, grow up full of angst, swear to avenge your parents death, become millionaire vigilante, open the cupboard and let Alfred deal with the mess.

I guess it all depends on how the cupboard opens. That would change the theory on how to resolve the issue.

If possible, lean the cupboard on its back and you can probably open it without letting it fall.

Get a long flat stick, slim jim or ruler, crack the door on the right side and slide the stick through to push the dishes on the right back into place. then open the right side so you can use your hands to move the stuff on the left back.

You have to open the door and then be faster then the gravity and hold the last plate. It could break one or two but not all of them :D

There's some opening space so a strong and dexterous arm that understand Asian/Chinese/Japanese bowls like a cook, supermarket stacker, housewife might be able to push up or remove and salvage the first four bowls after slipping thru door openning.
