I recently just started a book called The Watch That Ends The Night. It's about the Titanic and it is told from multiple people's perspectives. You follow the iceberg, the captain, a junior captain, an immigrant, a business man, one of the men who helps pick up the bodies aftewards. One of the challenges is that everyone knows what happened to the Titanic so I imagine it must have been a challenge to surprise and interest readers that know the ending.

The Sinking of the Costa Concordia

A Titanic-like scene arose this last week when an Italian Cruise liner known as the Costa Concordia voyaged too close to shore on the coast of the Italian Island Giglio. The Concordia, which was carrying roughly 4,000 passengers and crew, was said to have been in water less than 200 meters deep (company regulation states that boats must stay in at least 500 meters of water) when it struck a rock which punctured the underside of the ship and sent it listing almost immediately.
