Human Factors
I was Pilot Flying and the Captain was Pilot Monitoring. We were cleared to land Runway 04R in HNL. After touching down and rolling out; the HNL Tower cleared us to cross Runway 08L at Kilo and contact Ground when clear of the runway. The Captain asked the Tower a second time; 'confirm cleared to cross Runway 08L?' since this is identified as Hot-Spot 2 at HNL. The Tower again confirmed we were cleared to cross 08L and contact Ground when clear of the runway. At this point we made a positive exchange of the flight controls and the Captain took control of the aircraft. Taxiway Kilo has an element of high-speed entry from Runway 04R and we were slowed from rollout; but still moving at a reasonable taxi speed when we came to the Kilo taxiway hold short line of Runway 08L. As we individually looked to 'clear' the right and left sides of the runway before taxiing onto Runway 08L; the Captain observed an Aircraft Y approximately 200 feet above the approach end of Runway 08L. Once identified we both looked and confirmed that the Aircraft Y was landing on Runway 08L. The Captain attempted to stop the aircraft; but he was unable too; before the nose of the aircraft entered Runway 08L. The Captain then pushed the thrust levers forward to propel us across Runway 08L; and clear of Runway 08L; before the Aircraft Y touched down on Runway 08L. There was no further incident.High workload; positive exchange of flight controls; speed at which we entered Taxiway Kilo; ATC commands; and the angle of our view of Runway 08L were all contributing factors. Ultimately we should have stopped the aircraft before entering Runway 08L; even though the HNL Tower had cleared us to cross the runway. Taxiway Kilo and Runway 08L intersection is already identified as Hot Spot 2 at HNL. We were aware of a threat but what we didn't consider was HNL Tower being 'wrong' to clear us to cross the runway with an aircraft on short final.
Air carrier First Officer reported they were cleared to cross 8L at HNL even though another air carrier aircraft was on short final for landing.
