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.

Fold sheet in half around thin metal rod insert into the cupboard allow enough length to let them slide and slow down get enough people so everyone can grab one

Buy a glass scratcher and a suction cup. Place suction cup in the center of the window above the plates. While holding onto the suction cup use the glass scratcher to cut out the glass around the frame. You might have to tap slightly to break it free. If done properly the panel will stay one whole piece. You then should be able to reach inside above the plates and move them as needed. You can also do the same on the bottom to put down a blanket to catch anything that might slip while re-stacking

Guys, this is a trick question - how can plates be in a CUPboard. These are just some really big, really flattened cups - no plates, no problem.

Break the top glass pane, stand on a chair and reach in to restack all the dishes. Or get a really big pillow and set it under the cabinet (where you think the dishes would land) open the door and pray. Haha

Just as a photo of your grandmother both succeeds and fails in saving her for future generations, so are these bowls saved.
Come to an acceptance that while this image dwells in minds and software, this crockery is saved.

Hire the best, insured, movers in town. When they arrive, tell them the dishes are all you got in the divorce, and sadly the only posessions you'll be taking to your new home.

Hire a magician to make the plates spin on tops as they fall from the cupboard

Open the door and let it go. But while that's happening, make sure you take a video and then time lapse it in the most dramatic way, post the video on instagram with the hashtag #instabam , and tag instagram to get famous on internet.

Gently break or cut with a glass cutter the top window and then grab the precious plate by the top

From how the hold looks, this seems to be a sliding door. If so, open the other door until you can either begin removal of some of the fallen ones, or until it supports as many of them as possible. From there, open the door we are looking at and begin removing those. Work from there.

You'll need to buy spray insulation expanding foam...knock out a small piece of glass and spray it between the plates and cupboard bottom.Once it's dried open the cupboard. THE PLATES SHOULD STICK TOGETHER and be undamaged but you'll need varsol to clean plates and 6 bucks to replace the glass.

Easy, open the door such that have enough gap to put the hand in and push the plate in. After that open the door fully.
