Good on the Dash 8 crew for looking vigilantly prior to crossing.

Re: YYZ Runway Incursion - ATC Clears Aircraft Across During Takeoff
"Jazz Aviation LP, flight JZA949, a De Havilland DHC-8-400 (registration C-GGNW) aircraft, landed
at Toronto / LBPIA (CYYZ) on Runway 24L and was instructed by ATC to take a right turn onto D2
and then cross Runway 24R. When the aircraft was approaching the holding position for Runway
24R the flight crew observed an Air Canada ERJ 190-100 (flight AC462, registration C-FMZB)
departing runway 24R in front of them. AC462 had received clearance from ATC to depart Runway
24R, and was on the take-off roll. The flight crew of JZA949 queried ATC when they saw AC462
passing in front. NAV Canada is conducting an internal investigation."
A potential disaster avoided by that flight crew. Either they heard the clearance by ATC for the takeoff and made note of it or looked before crossing the runway or both. While monitoring ATC communications with other aircraft can help with situational awareness of other aircraft, it seems especially important in certain areas such as landing on 24L/06R at YYZ.
I have noticed a tendency in myself to sometimes tune ATC transmissions out and sometimes that is necessary when busy. Unfortunately, with all these required callouts in two crew aircraft, it seems that more and more ATC transmissions are missed. Now every little thing that appears on the FMA of the jets requires a callout. Boeing has some but Airbus has a ridiculous amount of them.
