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.

Nail it shut and cover it with cardboard. If you can't see it it's not there.

Maybe it's not as bad as it seems, open it slowly and see what happens then we decide

Have two friends hold an air mattress or stretched blanket immediately under the cupboard door and slowly edge open. They won't fall more than 18" and should be fine.

Easy really. Smash the pane of glass above the dishes and reach through ( carefully ) and remove the dishes leaning against the door. Cost: one small pane of glass. If you tape up the pane you are about to smash this limits the mess😋

Get your hand in there as quickly as possible, like fingers first probably from the middle side catch as close as possible so they don't go nuchal of anywhere

Solution: have a second person hold part of a blanket in a net type fashion under the cupboard so the dishes will fall in to it instead of the floor. Open cupboard. Worst case? Maybe 3 broken plates. Can also hold the blanket tighter to lessen the drop distance.

Problem: Ok I assume this is an overhead cupboard, both left and right are actually going to topple, and i assume you can't really open slightly like everyone expects you to because the left side is already falling through the obvious gap
Solution: I suggest that you fill a washing tub that is wide enough for the width of the cupboard with a cushion. Place said tub on a stool or some other support so that the cushion is directly under the cupboard. SLOWLY open the cupboard and let each fall
