Narrative:

During our takeoff from runway 27L ord on jan/xx/96 at approximately XX00 local time we initiated an aborted takeoff after the tower controller called an abort to us. The controller asked us if we were airborne. It was the captain's takeoff, I notified tower that we were on takeoff roll, this was at approximately 130 KTS. V1 was 149 KTS. Approaching 140 KTS the controller told us, air carrier X abort your takeoff. Our abort took place at about 140 KTS. The aircraft was stopped with approximately 2000 ft remaining of runway, after maximum rejected takeoff braking and reversers. We expedited our exit of the runway and notified tower. The controller was not aware of our high speed when he called out the abort. The visibility was about 1/2 mi fog. The controller told us he had had another air carrier X aircraft go missed approach on the cross runway, and was concerned about conflict between the 2 aircraft. The abort was uneventful, however, because of high gross weight and speed, followed the brake cooling charts that required us to return to the ramp area for what was about 1 hour and 30 mins of cooling time and a brake inspection by maintenance. Passenger were informed of the situation and appeared to be very understanding. I felt as did the captain that the abort call by the tower was appropriate under the circumstances.
