Airport; Human Factors; Procedure
We were flying a Visual Approach. It was nighttime and VMC. At some point below 100 feet in the flare Tower cleared the aircraft on the intersecting runway for takeoff. As our aircraft touched down I visually saw the other aircraft ahead and to the right of us. This means we had not cleared the intersecting runway. To my knowledge they had not started the takeoff roll yet; but they were cleared to takeoff of the intersecting runway before we even rolled through the runways intersection. As we cleared the runway at the taxiway; I queried the Tower and he said that we were through the runway intersection when he issued the takeoff clearance for the other aircraft. This is not true and could have resulted in aircraft damage or injury to those onboard. The Tower Controller had not verified our location before clearing the other aircraft on the intersecting runway for takeoff.
CRJ-900 Captain reported that; while landing; he heard ATC clear an aircraft for takeoff from an intersecting runway before he had rolled through the intersection.
