Interesting that you feel that way. That hadn't occurred to me.
He knows how horrible that was for her.
Thing is, he doesn't. He does in the sense that he's human and therefore he realizes that it couldn't have been a pleasant experience for her and Hodgins. But I rewatched their scene at the end of AiaS. They discuss Booth's prayer, God and whether He had a plan, whether Brennan prayed, her knowing that Booth wouldn't give up, and her being ok with his praying to give thanks for her and Hodgins being saved. But she doesn't actually ARTICULATE how the experience felt for her.
Though it's certainly valid to perceive his question as being mean, I think it will eventually make sense why he asked it. He's going in through the back door. Now, you may still come out of it thinking it wasn't a necessary question, but that's different.

I think Booth's question is somewhat mean.
