Narrative:
This near miss took place at the atl airport. We were instructed by ground control to hurry across runway 27R at intersection C for a runway 27L departure. As we attempted to cross runway 27R, I noticed an L1011 on departure roll on runway 27R. Hard braking was applied and the aircraft 'shuddered' to a stop but not before crossing to hold short line. The L1011 passed within 25 ft of the nose of our aircraft. Ground control then noticed this situation and told us to 'hold short' and 'thank you very much.' the rest of the flight was made without any more incidents. Controllers in atl are 'overloaded.' too many flts, too little space. My suggestion is to not allow the airlines to keep increasing flts until the facility can handle it.

Title: THE GND CTLR AT ATL INSTRUCTED A DC9 CREW TO EXPEDITE ACROSS A RWY ON WHICH AN L1011 WAS DEPARTING.
Narrative: THIS NEAR MISS TOOK PLACE AT THE ATL ARPT. WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY GND CTL TO HURRY ACROSS RWY 27R AT INTXN C FOR A RWY 27L DEP. AS WE ATTEMPTED TO CROSS RWY 27R, I NOTICED AN L1011 ON DEP ROLL ON RWY 27R. HARD BRAKING WAS APPLIED AND THE ACFT 'SHUDDERED' TO A STOP BUT NOT BEFORE XING TO HOLD SHORT LINE. THE L1011 PASSED WITHIN 25 FT OF THE NOSE OF OUR ACFT. GND CTL THEN NOTICED THIS SIT AND TOLD US TO 'HOLD SHORT' AND 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH.' THE REST OF THE FLT WAS MADE WITHOUT ANY MORE INCIDENTS. CTLRS IN ATL ARE 'OVERLOADED.' TOO MANY FLTS, TOO LITTLE SPACE. MY SUGGESTION IS TO NOT ALLOW THE AIRLINES TO KEEP INCREASING FLTS UNTIL THE FACILITY CAN HANDLE IT.
