That was a DC8.
United N8082U from NY to Portland, on 28 December 1978.
The captain, 52, had almost 28000 hours. Everybody got distracted by the LG problem, and nobody communicated their concerns about low fuel. 4 flameouts in the holding, collided with trees.
"Only" 10 fatalities, that's why it's not in all books...

Taken from "Airline safety" by W. Heller, if you are intersted:
"Earlier, I mentioned the airliner that crashed short of Portland because it ran out of fuel. The pilot's file revealed that, if he ever had landing gear problems and might have to make a belly landing, he intended to use up all his fuel first. His gauges were reading less than 3000 pounds of fuel when he accepted a steer away from the airport. As a result, people died.
An airliner's captain must allocate duties so that someone is flying the plane at all times.
[...]
Apologists can always be found. A former civilian test pilot claims that corrosion problems in the landing gear system were the cause of the Portland accident. Not true.
[...]
There are excuses for every mistake, and that's why pencils have erasers it is said. When an airline captain makes a mistake, he cannot erase it. It is he, and those flying with him, who are likely to be rubbed out.
Apologists notwithstanding."
