Narrative:

We were inbound to see from the san diego southeast practice area, cleared touch-and-go for runway 27L. We entered the pattern on a left base, reporting crossing the 8 fwy on base. We performed a short field landing, touching down at the top of the numbers. We slowed, but kept rolling, reconfigured the aircraft for takeoff. As we were accelerating, we heard the tower controller tell another aircraft to hold position on runway 17 (which intersects runway 27). The controller told us to exit next taxiway and I responded that 'we are touch-and-go.' the controller then told us to hold our position and stop immediately. We were still on the ground and the controller emphatically repeated himself several times, at which point I pulled the power off and started braking heavily. The controller continued to yell at all aircraft to stop, so I applied full brakes and back controls for maximum braking. We crossed runway 17 and saw the aircraft on runway 17 pass 50 ft behind us, also braking heavily. A new controller came on the radio and asked if we were ok and asked us to contact ground. As we tried to taxi off the runway we realized that our left tire was flat. We contacted a ground service crew who came out to tow the aircraft away. The tire had an approximately 1 inch hole worn through from the heavy braking. Skid marks were visible for several hundred ft from where the brakes were applied to the stopping point of the aircraft. I believe the cause of the near miss was the failure of the controller to maintain suitable separation of traffic on the 2 intersecting runways. When we were cleared to land, we were not advised of any traffic for the intersecting runway. The controller said something to the effect that we were slower than he anticipated. No other explanation for what happened was given. Supplemental information from acn 635886: we completed our landing and reconfigured -- on the roll -- for a short field takeoff and accelerated to takeoff speed. We were just about to rotate when the tower shouted, 'nxxxx hold position, hold position!' the PF reacted by applying hard braking. I immediately looked to our right to see an airplane on the landing rollout on runway 17. The aircraft landing on the crossing runway hit the brakes and passed a very few ft behind us. It was very close. At no time did we hear that an airplane was set-up to land on the crossing runway nor were we advised of that traffic. The takeoff pilot's decision to brake hard took away some of what little safety margin there may have been. On the other hand, the landing pilot also applied hard brakes that allowed us to pass in front of him just in time to avoid a collision. The controller's decision to allow the landing on runway 17 with close landing traffic on runway 27 was definitely a wrong one.

Title: STUDENT AND FLT INSTRUCTOR SHOOTING TOUCH-AND-GO LNDG ON RWY 27 AT SEE ARE ALERTED BY LCL CTLR TO REJECT THEIR TKOF DUE TO COLLISION HAZARD WITH ACFT LNDG ON AN INTERSECTING RWY. HARD BRAKING RESULTS IN A BLOWN TIRE ON RPTR'S C172.

Narrative: WE WERE INBOUND TO SEE FROM THE SAN DIEGO SE PRACTICE AREA, CLRED TOUCH-AND-GO FOR RWY 27L. WE ENTERED THE PATTERN ON A L BASE, RPTING XING THE 8 FWY ON BASE. WE PERFORMED A SHORT FIELD LNDG, TOUCHING DOWN AT THE TOP OF THE NUMBERS. WE SLOWED, BUT KEPT ROLLING, RECONFIGURED THE ACFT FOR TKOF. AS WE WERE ACCELERATING, WE HEARD THE TWR CTLR TELL ANOTHER ACFT TO HOLD POS ON RWY 17 (WHICH INTERSECTS RWY 27). THE CTLR TOLD US TO EXIT NEXT TXWY AND I RESPONDED THAT 'WE ARE TOUCH-AND-GO.' THE CTLR THEN TOLD US TO HOLD OUR POS AND STOP IMMEDIATELY. WE WERE STILL ON THE GND AND THE CTLR EMPHATICALLY REPEATED HIMSELF SEVERAL TIMES, AT WHICH POINT I PULLED THE PWR OFF AND STARTED BRAKING HEAVILY. THE CTLR CONTINUED TO YELL AT ALL ACFT TO STOP, SO I APPLIED FULL BRAKES AND BACK CTLS FOR MAX BRAKING. WE CROSSED RWY 17 AND SAW THE ACFT ON RWY 17 PASS 50 FT BEHIND US, ALSO BRAKING HEAVILY. A NEW CTLR CAME ON THE RADIO AND ASKED IF WE WERE OK AND ASKED US TO CONTACT GND. AS WE TRIED TO TAXI OFF THE RWY WE REALIZED THAT OUR L TIRE WAS FLAT. WE CONTACTED A GND SVC CREW WHO CAME OUT TO TOW THE ACFT AWAY. THE TIRE HAD AN APPROX 1 INCH HOLE WORN THROUGH FROM THE HVY BRAKING. SKID MARKS WERE VISIBLE FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED FT FROM WHERE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO THE STOPPING POINT OF THE ACFT. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THE NEAR MISS WAS THE FAILURE OF THE CTLR TO MAINTAIN SUITABLE SEPARATION OF TFC ON THE 2 INTERSECTING RWYS. WHEN WE WERE CLRED TO LAND, WE WERE NOT ADVISED OF ANY TFC FOR THE INTERSECTING RWY. THE CTLR SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT WE WERE SLOWER THAN HE ANTICIPATED. NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED WAS GIVEN. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 635886: WE COMPLETED OUR LNDG AND RECONFIGURED -- ON THE ROLL -- FOR A SHORT FIELD TKOF AND ACCELERATED TO TKOF SPD. WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO ROTATE WHEN THE TWR SHOUTED, 'NXXXX HOLD POS, HOLD POS!' THE PF REACTED BY APPLYING HARD BRAKING. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED TO OUR R TO SEE AN AIRPLANE ON THE LNDG ROLLOUT ON RWY 17. THE ACFT LNDG ON THE XING RWY HIT THE BRAKES AND PASSED A VERY FEW FT BEHIND US. IT WAS VERY CLOSE. AT NO TIME DID WE HEAR THAT AN AIRPLANE WAS SET-UP TO LAND ON THE CROSSING RWY NOR WERE WE ADVISED OF THAT TFC. THE TKOF PLT'S DECISION TO BRAKE HARD TOOK AWAY SOME OF WHAT LITTLE SAFETY MARGIN THERE MAY HAVE BEEN. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE LNDG PLT ALSO APPLIED HARD BRAKES THAT ALLOWED US TO PASS IN FRONT OF HIM JUST IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE CTLR'S DECISION TO ALLOW THE LNDG ON RWY 17 WITH CLOSE LNDG TFC ON RWY 27 WAS DEFINITELY A WRONG ONE.
