of state john kerry denouncing this coup, saying there's no justification for it, and they're threatening to suspend $10 million in aid to thailand. let's get the latest now from paula hancocksbangkok, which is now in the control of the military. >> reporter: that's right, john. i'm standing just outside the army club, and this is the site where that coup was carried out in front of our very eyes on thursday. so, now thailand is officially under another military coup d'etat. here in the coming minutes, we are expecting to see some of the foreign diplomats from around the world arriving. they have been summoned to meet with general pryutu, who is now in charge. we spoke with the ambassador earlier on cnn and she said she would not be able to attend, but she is sending someone junior. obviously, it is very politically sensitive for ambassadors around the world, including the u.s. ambassador, to come and be summoned by a general who has just ripped up the constitution and staged a military coup. so, it will be very interesting to see who is here. now, we know that the former prime minister, yingluck shinawatra, who was ousted from power just two weeks ago, now she's inside one

hancocks from sul korea. what can you tell us about that? >> well, johnwas a tearful apology when president park geun-hye was talking about the people she called the heros of our generation. these are the people, the crews and people who helped save lives. and of course, those saying more should have been done. critics across the country have been asking why the coast guard didn't manage to save more passengers as that ship sank. and they're asking why the crew and captain were able to be saved but not more passengers, let's listen to the president. >> translator: the coast guard failed in its duty to carry out the rescue operation. the reason is because of the structure. since it was created, its concentrate on investigation and external growth and have neglected search and rescue tasks. >> so she said there was a fundamental flaw within the coast guard itself. but bear in mind, the search is still ongoing. there are still 18 people missing in those frigid waters of the yellow sea. that search is ongoing right now. and what the president has been saying

hancocks is live in hong kong with the details about this. death by negligence, paula. explain this to me. >> reporter: well, john, the head, as you said, is now behind bars. that's one of the charges against him, causing death by negligence, also causing the capsizing of the ship in the line of duty, violating ship safety act. now, basically, the reason behind this is this comes after four of his employees were arrested and indicted. there was a raid on the ferry company itself. and it's because the ship has been proven to have been overloaded. investigators telling cnn that there was excessive cargo on this ship at the time of the sinking, more than -- almost 2 1/2 times the ship's limit was on board, and not just that. they also say that some of it was not tied down properly, so this did contribute to the capsizing of the ship. and also, this was not an isolated event. the investigators tell cnn that there were a number of occasions when this ferry company decided to overload the ship, more than 50% of the trips that they made over the past year since march of last year when this route started were overloaded.

hancocks live from seoul this morning. really an extraordinary apology and reorganization all at once here. >> reporter: well, that's right, johns a side that we saw this monday that most south koreans simply don't see from their president. we saw a tearful apology towards the end of her speech when she was talking about the people that she called the heroes of our generation. those people, passengers and crew members, who lost their lives to save other people's lives. but she was at the beginning of the speech saying she was dismantling the coast guard in this country. she said there was just too much criticism of them. and simply, they did not do enough. the first responders did not save enough people. >> translator: the coast guard failed in its duty to carry out the rescue operation. the reason is because of the structure. since it was created, its concentrate on investigation and external growth and has neglected search and rescue tasks. >> reporter: now there have been questions as to why more passengers were not able to be saved. almost 300 people having been killed in this disaster. 18 people are still missing. this sea
