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.

Drill a hand sized hole where the first plate is and push them back in to place.

Release so many spiders in there that their webs hold the plates in place. Then burn the house down to get rid of all those spiders.

Use a glass cutter to cut the glass pane to the right. Sort out the plates then replace the pane of glass. Simple

It would be very risky and the initial movement might make them fall regardless, but if you could somehow find a way to lay it down on its back, you could open it without them breaking

The door seems to be a sliding one. Therefore it should
be manageable to slide the door slightly open and rescue the plates by grabbing through the gap.

Take the secured cupboard to NASA. Put it in a zero gravity chamber, open it and there you go! Or lie down the cupboard on its back and just open it? :)

Place a thick mattress below the door of the cupboard and then open it so when you open the cupboard the plates dont fall on the floor rather they fall on the mattress and hence dont break! ;)

Let your husband open it. If he breaks it, blame him and he'll buy you new ones.
