Narrative:

While taxiing for departure at dca, we were cleared across runway 15 at taxiway K, for takeoff on runway 19. Both ourselves and a B737 were cleared across at the same time. As we started across we saw a dash 8 begin its takeoff roll on runway 15. Other air carrier and ourselves stopped and the dash 8 aborted the takeoff. We were reclred across and received confirmation of our original clearance. Supplemental information from acn 465608: B737 was also cleared to cross at taxiway J. We were on ground and I assume he was on tower.
