Narrative:
We were taxiing from gate. Bos ground controller cleared us from the alley to runway 22R via txwys K, north, all the way to runway 22R. We were just about to cross runway 15R when I saw the DC8 holding in position with its lights on. We stopped short of runway 15R and I was just about to ask the controller if we were cleared to cross and the DC8 passed by us on his takeoff roll. It was a long day, late at night and luckily no passenger aboard our aircraft.
