Narrative:

We were departing on runway 9 in bos. After calling V1 I spotted an A330 rotating just prior to our intersection of runway 9/15R. The airbus was departing on runway 15R. The captain was the PF and did not yet see the airbus. I stated out loud; 'keep it down' as I pushed the yoke forward to prevent the captain from rotating as we would collide in the intersection. The airbus passed directly over our aircraft at a wheel/tail ht that I estimate was less than 50 ft. After we cleared the intersection; the captain rotated the aircraft and we reported the incident to tower and proceeded without further incident. After landing; bos tower admitted the mistake to the captain on the telephone and thanked us for keeping the aircraft on the runway allowing the A330 to pass overhead.
