Human Factors
Given an 'immediate takeoff' clearance for Runway 23 APF at XA:55z. 20-30 seconds into the takeoff roll we are instructed to cancel our takeoff clearance and then immediately abort. A few seconds later we observe a light transport jet landing on 14; cross in front of us at a very high speed.The controller was noticeably over-saturated with the sheer volume of air traffic and this happened during a runway change (from 14 to 23).
First Officer reported a critical ground conflict event during takeoff roll with a landing aircraft on an intersecting runway. Pilot immediately rejected takeoff when tower cancelled takeoff clearance.
