What they said on the live-tv now it was due to the airplane not having enough energy (batteries?) to land safely in Paris, so diversion to Brussels.The only one who never makes mistakes is the one who never does anything - Theodore Roosevelt

Solar Impulse is about 2-3 hours from Paris, it has been flying for about 8 hours.
Following the first successful solar flight around the world, the Solar Impulse Foundation is now selecting clean and profitable solutions to environmental issues.
It's not showing on FR24 or Planefinder, it is just south of Reims @ 16:17 UTC.

HB-SIA is flying again, right now it is over the south of France, heading to the Pyrenees. Landing is planned in Madrid today, tomorrow it is planned to fly to Morocco. Sadly it is still not showing up on FR24, but you can follow the flight on www.solarimpulse.com.
I hope they will have live footage of the landing.
