Air traffic control noticed and forced the Delta jet to abort takeoff when it had already reached a speed of 115 miles an hour.
The American Airlines jet apparently did not have clearance to cross the runway. That plane took off for a flight to London about 20 minutes later.
The Delta jet that aborted its takeoff returned to the gate.
