Narrative:

Takeoff runway 26L in atl, given takeoff clearance, during takeoff roll several aircraft given clear to cross runway. They started to move but saw us (I assume) and stopped prior to runway encroachment. Tower told us to abort but we were too fast and an abort would have put us in worse position if an aircraft did try to cross.
