Oh and that's just that one wallet...imagine the rest of the cash out requests that day combined...
the part you don't understand is that the exchangers are just facilitating the transactions between buyers and sellers - they don't have any money.

If I want to sell a bitcoin, i go and put it on the market for let's say $7000 right now. If somebody buys it - good. If not i need to lower my price until somebody does.

I cannot go to an exchange and tell them: here are 1000 bitcoin, give me $7 million. This is not how this works.
