The US has had a couple of incidents where aircraft on intersecting runways have had one pass over the top of another during the 2000's.

June 9, 2005 in Boston between US Airways Flight 1170 (737) and Aer Lingus Flight 132 (A330), the pilots of US Air flight had to push forward on the control column to delay rotation as the EI had just taken off on the crossing runway.

IIRC, the US Air crew received an award for their handing of the incident.

The following year in Chicago a landing Atlas cargo 747 had a departing Unitied 737 pass over it.

Here's an NTSB list of incursions
