The post has gained 15,000 reactions and 1000 comments at the time of this writing.

The internet user experienced an extreme headache due to this incident. Several users admitted that their minds went completely blank when they saw the photo. However, others felt excited and claimed they had experienced the same thing. 

One person said: She's going to have to take or break the glass panel underneath, or maybe even the one next to it, and reach up and push the plates back up.

A second wrote: Take out an upper pain of glass. There's a good chance you can put your hand in from above and pull them back to the shelf and safety. Items that would help glass cutter and a suction pad.

While a third suggested: Popping the back panel of the cabinet. It's usually a staple or small finishing nail. Easy mode yo. Some crazy ideas in here about breaking glass or laying the cabinet down... silly talk. 

Another said: It's so simple. Just put some mattresses below the door of the cupboard... One person opens the door and the second person quickly grabs the rest. Fallen plates will be safe if minimal in number.. Timing does matter.
