Unhinged financial advisor tries to hijack fire truck at Albany airport

If you've ever parked in the E lot at the Albany airport, you might know how James M. Buccigrossi felt this morning when he discovered that he didn't have enough money to pay his parking fee at the lot's exit. But you probably didn't do what he did next, when he noticed a nearby firetruck:

Buccigrossi, a financial adviser, jumped out of his 1993 black BMW and into the firetruck, telling the driver he was an air marshal and ordered him to drive off, deputies said. Buccigrossi began taking off his clothes and claimed to have a bomb in his car, which was blocking an exit lane at the ticket booth, deputies said.
