When two POV characters meet?

Question

I have two POV (3rd person limited) characters and they start the story as complete strangers and far apart. They don't meet for some time and they have very different experiences.Now I want them to meet and live through some intense, important event. How can I choose whose POV to take during the event? They would have very different views of the same event and I want them both to convey their version to the reader. But I don't want to tell the same event again. What should I base my decision on?

Answer 1

you could use third person omniscient. it allows you to input the thoughts and feelings of both characters during the event without repetition.
