The bonds aren't so long as has been given in the pic. So the two chlorines being on the same side (plane of your monitor) create steric hindrance and so make the elimination easier [4]

P.S:
Just ignore the answer if it seems too far-fetched or idiotic [1]

Why not? The carbon becomes sp2 hybridized and so the hydrogen has to come to the plane of the monitor. Done! [1]
