Market getting smashed, where is cash going?

Clearly a massive sell off is happening, are traders (big and small) just sitting on cash once they sell? Gold, the bastion of safe heavens, is also getting hit.

Bonds? Simple interest? Are any sectors up in this mess?

Funds are flowing out of the US.

Out of international markets too. They are moving into fixed income.

The money doesn't go anywhere when the market crashes, they mostly just vanish.
