Hi I have an ocd regarding travelling by flight. From the   time I saw a movie in which terrorist blast the flight i have developed an ocd regarding travelling by plane. I always feel there would be a terrorist who would blast the flight and i will die.

I don't mean to be rude but I don't think you are suffering from ocd, as a person who does have it,it's a misuse of words. However you could be suffering from generalized anxiety disorder, paranoia, pure o which is obsessional thoughts or just a general fear of flying. It's understandable to have that anxiety about terrorists what with everything that has happened over the years. If you do have to travel via plane I'd recommend you seek a type of help called CBT,it doesn't work for everyone,but its defo worth a try :)
