Narrative:
While taxiing to runway 27L at ord per ATC instructions, we were stopped with our parking brake set at taxiway M just short of taxiway F going to runway 27L in a line-up. ATC had cleared an air carrier B747-400 to cross runway 27L at taxiway F. Our nose of the aircraft was too far into taxiway F for the B747 to get through. The pilot of the B747 did not realize that he did not have enough room to pass. He had no intention to stop, they plowed straight through us with great speed. The first officer called ATC to tell B747 to stop, and fortunately they were able to stop about 30-40 ft prior to hitting us. Supplemental information from acn 439773: intended to plow straight through us with his left outboard engine.
