Narrative:
After landing on runway 16R in sea we were cleared to cross runway 16L and told to contact ground when crossed. While we are approaching and very close to runway 16R on the 'high speed' air carrier Y was cleared for takeoff. We both thought he was cleared for takeoff on runway 16R. He was taking off on runway 16L. By that time we were on runway 16L. We cleared the runway as soon as possible, and air carrier Y aborted his takeoff roll. The controller initially blamed us for the incident and said he had told us to 'hold short of 16L'. We called the tower. They 'checked their tapes' and it showed it was controller's mistake. When landing or taking off on airport where you have to cross active runways, you better listen to ATC until you are at the gate.

Title: ACR MLG WAS CLEARED FOR TKOF AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER ACR WAS CLEARED TO CROSS THE RWY. ACFT ON TKOF ABORT.
Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON RWY 16R IN SEA WE WERE CLRED TO CROSS RWY 16L AND TOLD TO CONTACT GND WHEN CROSSED. WHILE WE ARE APCHING AND VERY CLOSE TO RWY 16R ON THE 'HIGH SPEED' ACR Y WAS CLRED FOR TKOF. WE BOTH THOUGHT HE WAS CLRED FOR TKOF ON RWY 16R. HE WAS TAKING OFF ON RWY 16L. BY THAT TIME WE WERE ON RWY 16L. WE CLRED THE RWY ASAP, AND ACR Y ABORTED HIS TKOF ROLL. THE CTLR INITIALLY BLAMED US FOR THE INCIDENT AND SAID HE HAD TOLD US TO 'HOLD SHORT OF 16L'. WE CALLED THE TWR. THEY 'CHECKED THEIR TAPES' AND IT SHOWED IT WAS CTLR'S MISTAKE. WHEN LNDG OR TAKING OFF ON ARPT WHERE YOU HAVE TO CROSS ACTIVE RWYS, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ATC UNTIL YOU ARE AT THE GATE.
