Weather; Human Factors
On PRM 10C approach in poor visibility; and we were so concerned about visually trying to find traffic that was to our immediate left that we were late configuring the aircraft for landing. The landing gear horn sounded at 800.
Performing PRM ILS 10R ORD I allowed myself to be distracted by aircraft on simultaneous approach to 10C which caused me to delay gear and final flaps. The bottom line of 500 feet or mandatory go around may have been breached where a go around is mandated. The aircraft made a normal landing in the landing zone.
B737 flight crew forgot to lower their landing gear which led to an alarm to sound at 800 feet during approach. After lowering the gear the flight crew continued the un-stabilized approach to a normal landing.
