Narrative:

At sxm we were told by ground to push and start engines. The ramp area was crowded. Overlooking the captain's shoulder, I noticed we were being pushed onto the active runway. The tower controller told us to stop at the same time we began to tell push crew to stop and to pull us off runway.
