Narrative:

Air carrier X during catii operation doing an automatic land on runway 28R in pit. I was slowed to minimum airspeed by final monitor. Unknown to me, there was an aircraft on the runway cleared (I heard him) for takeoff. The separation was inadequate, less than 1 mi. When we touched down you could just make his shadow out rolling in front of us. I went to maximum braking and maximum reverse. Fearing the worst situation would have been an abort by the departing DC9. The separation on the runway was about 2000 ft, just on the edge of visibility, way too close! I called the tower on rollout asked if he realized how close that was, he said he did. There was an ATC error, either we should have been sent around or the other aircraft told to exit the runway. It was not at peak time of arrs in pit. I would much rather go around then ever see a ghostly shadow of a DC9 taking off 2000 ft in front of me. The error was made by pit ATC local controller and the final monitor. If the DC9 had aborted his takeoff, the entire situation would have been a disaster. Both aircraft were on the runway at the same time for at least 10 seconds. A very long 10 seconds.

Title: ACR X RWY INCURSION LAND ON OCCUPIED RWY WITH DC9 DEPARTING. SYS ERROR.

Narrative: ACR X DURING CATII OP DOING AN AUTO LAND ON RWY 28R IN PIT. I WAS SLOWED TO MINIMUM AIRSPD BY FINAL MONITOR. UNKNOWN TO ME, THERE WAS AN ACFT ON THE RWY CLRED (I HEARD HIM) FOR TKOF. THE SEPARATION WAS INADEQUATE, LESS THAN 1 MI. WHEN WE TOUCHED DOWN YOU COULD JUST MAKE HIS SHADOW OUT ROLLING IN FRONT OF US. I WENT TO MAX BRAKING AND MAX REVERSE. FEARING THE WORST SIT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ABORT BY THE DEPARTING DC9. THE SEPARATION ON THE RWY WAS ABOUT 2000 FT, JUST ON THE EDGE OF VISIBILITY, WAY TOO CLOSE! I CALLED THE TWR ON ROLLOUT ASKED IF HE REALIZED HOW CLOSE THAT WAS, HE SAID HE DID. THERE WAS AN ATC ERROR, EITHER WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT AROUND OR THE OTHER ACFT TOLD TO EXIT THE RWY. IT WAS NOT AT PEAK TIME OF ARRS IN PIT. I WOULD MUCH RATHER GAR THEN EVER SEE A GHOSTLY SHADOW OF A DC9 TAKING OFF 2000 FT IN FRONT OF ME. THE ERROR WAS MADE BY PIT ATC LCL CTLR AND THE FINAL MONITOR. IF THE DC9 HAD ABORTED HIS TKOF, THE ENTIRE SIT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. BOTH ACFT WERE ON THE RWY AT THE SAME TIME FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. A VERY LONG 10 SECONDS.
