Narrative:

While holding short of runway 27R at taxiway M, ground control (121.9) told us to expedite across runway 27R. We said 'roger crossing runway 27R.' both pilots called out clear left and clear right. I, being the captain, saw an MD80/DC9 on a 2 mi final and said ok cleared left. As I pwred up and our aircraft was 1/3 of the way onto runway 27R, ground control said 'disregard, hold short of runway 27R.' we then looked to our left and saw a king air touching down at the approach end of runway 27R. We replied that it was too late and continued across runway 27R.
