I think that two of the Americans were pre- schoolers with Chinese parents plus the Texas IBM guy.

Following the 2 passengers from Iran referenced in [b] that footnote pulls up the following information

The manifest released by Malaysia Airlines lists an Austrian and an Italian.
These have since been identified as two Iranian nationals who boarded Flight 370 using stolen passports.[120]

which takes us to Malaysia Airlines MH370: Stolen passports 'no terror link' which states:

Two men travelling on stolen passports on board a missing Malaysian airliner were Iranians with no apparent links to terrorist groups, officials say.

Malaysian police named one as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, 18, and said he was probably migrating to Germany.

Interpol identified the other as Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza, 29.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing went missing on Saturday, after taking off with 239 on board.
The search has been widened.

Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad is second from the left.
Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza, on the far right, travelled with him on the missing plane.
Police released pictures of the two as they boarded the plane

Experts have said the presence of two people with stolen passports on a plane was a breach of security, but one that is relatively common in a region regarded as a hub for illegal migration.

Malaysia's police chief, Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar, said the younger Iranian was "not likely to be a member of a terrorist group",
adding that the authorities were in contact with his mother in Germany, who had been expecting her son to arrive in Frankfurt.

Speaking in Paris later on Tuesday, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said the two men had travelled from Qatar's capital Doha on their Iranian passports, and switched to stolen Italian and Austrian passports to board the Malaysia Airlines flight.
