Person 1:まさか走って現場まで向かうとは

person 2:他にどうすんだよ

Person 1:てっきり先生なら空も飛べる **ものか** と (思った)

I just wanna make sure im understanding this right, that ものか is basically
satire right? my attempt on translation:

Person 1:Oh! to think that we are running and heading straight to the actual
spot.

Person 2:What else you wanna do?

Person 1: well, if you are my sensei, i thought as if you could fly or
something

Basically, that ものか in this sentence is basically something along the lines of
"as if you could fly"?

question
grammar particles
ものか in this sentence?
It's ものだ, but だ has been replaced by a question marker か to decrease the level
of certainty. ものだ can express something is a natural or ("general")
expectation based on common sense.

> てっきり先生なら空も飛べるもの **か** と。  
>  てっきり先生なら空も飛べるもの **だ** と。
>
> I _naturally_ thought you could fly in the sky(, can't you?)  
>  I had completely believed you could _of course_ fly...

Unless I have missed something, ものだ never means "as if ...".
