https://youtu.be/H2tuKiiznsYGreat video showing the origins of why the 737-Max has the MCAS and issues it does. It was a race against the Airbus A320 Neo. Basically, if the 737 had taller landing gear it would have been easy to put the same fuel efficient engines the Airbus was adding, but it didnt and had to put the engines nearly above the wings for clearance. This is probably a great airplane I have flown on. It just needs a throrough reproving of its airworthiness and no one will/should take any chances in mitigating and identified risk within the design team. Failure to do so would lead to doubt and any incident might be dooming to the company. Its going to suck at BAC for awhile but they have to get it right beyond a doubt.

To PelicanPirate's comment about the landing gear. Not only did Boeing have to reposition the engines by moving them up and forward they in fact did lengthen the landing gears as well.
