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.

Put in a thin but rigid enough cardboard piece of paper attached to a ruler - the ruler will add support. Slowly turn while pushing upwards at the same time to "slide" the plates gently back up and inward. Make sure you test on a different cupboard with non-breakable plates to ensure the task is successful prior. This is not a funny comment but may actually work.

put lots of pillows under the cupboard so the plates would fall on them and don't break.

Start a crowdfunder campaign for a new set of dishes, giving away different sized shards to different contributors - the highest contributor can be the one to open the door.
Raise the money, send off all the broken bits of dish, buy new dishes.
