A Delta Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration N707DN performing flight DL-71 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Atlanta,GA (USA), was accelerating for takeoff from runway 24 when tower instructed to stop immediately after observing a landing aircraft on runway 18C going around due to an unstable approach. The Delta crew did not understand, tower repeated "Stop immediately" a second time, the crew read back "cleared for takeoff" and finally acknowledged a third "stop immediately". The crew rejected takeoff at high speed, slowed the aircraft safely, reported normal operations and vacated the runway. While taxiing towards the apron emergency services were called to check the brakes after tower observed smoke from the right hand brakes, when emergency services arrived there was still smoke from the right hand brakes, emergency services cooled the brakes. The aircraft subsequently taxied to the apron.

The aircraft was able to depart about 80 minutes later and reached Atlanta with a delay of 65 minutes.

The departure from/go around on runway 18C intersects with initial departure from runway 24.
