I had a similar experience where I was watching a plane land out the starboard side on the crossing runway as we departed on BOS-LGA on the DL Shuttle a year ago. In our case the spacing was sufficient that they touched down well after we crossed the intersection, but it was close enough to catch my attention and I watched the entire climb out more closely than usual.

I found it on liveatc.net (http://archive-server.liveatc.net/kb...2008-1300Z.mp3) The abort is about a third of the way in. They are all very calm throughout the whole thing. The pilot comes back on and says "United 699 we're going to cancel that. Abort the take off" and the tower comes back and apologizes.

They moved the flight to 33L from 27 so that they could get them right back out instead of having to go back into the taxi line.
