Narrative:
Air carrier X was cleared into position and hold on runway 36 traffic was a helicopter instructed to hold short on grass on east side of 36. Controller spoke to helicopter several times as we were getting into position. The helicopter held short and the tower cleared us for takeoff. As we started our takeoff roll the captain called for an abort. An small aircraft landed on the crossing runway (29). I used full reverse and brakes, averting a collision. The tower reiterated that we were cleared for takeoff. We continued the flight without further incident.
